The '''Alliance Crusader''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]] for the [[Alliance]]. It represents a middle-ground between the [[Alliance Chieftain]] and the [[Alliance Challenger]],<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/443558-3-2-Launch-Announcement Frontier Forums: Beyond - Chapter Three Launch Announcement]</ref> combining heavy firepower with a [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]] and two additional pilot seats to accommodate [[Multicrew]]. By the looks of it, the Crusader boasts the same Hardpoint loadout as it's predecessor, the Chieftain.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/99h56d/spoilers_leaked_presentation_footage_from/ r/EliteDangerous: Leaked presentation footage from Frontier's Gamescom Community Meet]</ref> While the inclusion of the Fighter Hangar has resulted in a slight but noticeable decrease in overall speed and manoeuvrability, Lakon is confident that the Crusader can hold its own in any combat situation, especially against the [[Thargoid]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b7fedf14d1824475d5fbaaa GalNet: Lakon Releases Alliance Crusader]</ref>

==Overview==
The third ship in the Alliance faction ship series and the second variant of the [[Alliance Chieftain]], the Alliance Crusader's primary attraction is its ability to equip a [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]], a feature that both the Chieftain and the [[Alliance Challenger]] lack; as a result, it also boasts an additional pilot seat for [[Multicrew]], giving it a total of three seats versus the two of its companion ships. The Crusader retains the three [[Military Compartment]]s found in both of its predecessors.

== Notes ==
*The Alliance Crusader will be released with the Chapter Three (3.2) update of ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' on August 28, 2018.
*The Alliance Crusader's name was accidentally first revealed on the Frontier Store shortly after the release of the 3.1 update. It was promptly removed, leading many to believe that "Alliance Crusader" was an old internal name for the Alliance Challenger rather than a new ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/435235-Krait-Phantom-and-Alliance-Crusader Frontier Forums: Krait Phantom and Alliance Crusader]</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Like the [[Alliance Chieftain]] and [[Alliance Challenger]], the Alliance Crusader is named after a British tank. In this case, the A15 Crusader.
* Visually, the Crusader has an identical body to the Alliance Challenger, however its wings are instead those found on the Alliance Chieftain.
