Centauri Talvan Attack Cruiser

The Talvan was introduced into the Centauri fleet in 1860 to provide a fast strike cruiser for the Centauri battle fleets. During the Orieni War, it became the preferred frontline cruiser in the Centauri fleet, largely replacing the earlier Celerians. Future Centauri designers would take inspiration from the Talvan when designing the Centurion.

This Wars of the Centauri Republic era Centauri cruiser is obviously modeled on the Centurion Attack Cruiser, so I kept that basic hull plan but tried to make the ship look older and a bit more industrial. I borrowed the flying bridge from the Dargan, and also added some "maintenance pit" areas to the bottom of the ship that are also similar to those found on the Dargan. The overall result is an older, blockier Centauri warship design.
