The Compact Capability Combat Cruiser (CCCC) Leander-class/variant are E-class cruisers that underwent major refits using scavenged part from the plentyful wrecks of D-class battleships, as the Gatlantean war ended with Earth's time fault shipyard is destroyed, heavily reducing the UNCF's warship production rate.

The development actually started since the war outbreak, as there were already doubts if the current patrol cruisers are actually useful againts the increasingly advanced gatlanteans.

Tho research are halted for a while as focus shifted to mass-producing battleships using the Time Fault.

After the war's end with Gatlantean race wiped out after many losses, the federation once again in need of ships that doesn't burn taxpayer money. And once again, the Leander project re-activated.

These sub-variant are simplified version of the main class, with better dual-purpose turrets, point-defense system from D-class, room for extra auxiliary craft, and a new WMG, at the cost of less missile capacity and no specialized point defense turrets.
