The Romana-class was the first class of purpose-built standard cruisers built for the Cacertian Royal Navy following the Divide War. The subsequent reevaluation of Cacertian naval doctrine that resulted in the abandonment of its original tactics produced an entirely new family of Cacertian warship that branched from the original Cagoa-class. The Romana-class of cruisers would differ from its smaller lighter cruiser cousins by operating directly with the larger fleet elements of the CRN by provided anti-air screening as well as gunfire support against enemy destroyers and other enemy cruisers.
The primary armament of the Romanas were the 150mm RN-QF Mark I guns that both served to combat surface targets as well as aircraft. Production of the Romana-class began in late 1920s with plans to construct two for each battleship in the Royal Navy’s roster. While this plan was never met, a grand total of 32 Romana-class cruisers would ultimately be put to sea making them the most numerous cruiser class to be built for Cacerta.
All of the ships of the class saw action during the Siduri War serving in a varying number of roles which ranged from battleship and convoy escort to fleet raider. Four ships would be lost while participating in the Battle of the Sabri Sea, 27 would later be scrapped in the mid-1940s, with the HMS Aurora going on to be preserved as a museum ship.
