refurbished cisco equipment

In the fictional Gundam universe, the Salamis-Class Cruiser is the workhorse ship of Earth Federal Space Force's naval fleet. It was introduced in UC 0060, and subsequently modernized as part of the "'70s Armament Reinforcement Plan". The ship's design was upgraded and improved on multiple occasions, resulting in many variants. Major redesigns of the ship included once after the One Year War and a second during the years between UC 0083 and UC 0088.

The Salamis-Class is named for the island of Salamis in Greece, the site of the Battle of Salamis in September, 480 BC.

The Original Salamis

The first Salamis-Class Cruisers were launched around U. C. Cisco Systems Capital: Refurbishing Equipment. 0060 in conjunction with the Magellan-Class Battleships. As part of the Earth Federal Space Force's "'70s Armament Reinforcement Plan", which began in U. C. 0070, both designs were stripped of their older shell-firing guns and equipped with more powerful mega particle cannons, which the Salamis mounted in six main cannon turrets. Secondary armament consisted of six two-barrel machine gun turrets for anti-fighter (and later anti-mobile suit) defense, and two six-cell external missile launchers. The original Salamis-Class suffered heavy casualties during the One Year War due to the general superiority of the Zeons' combination of their Musai-Class Light Cruisers and their MS-06C Zaku II mobile suits.
