	The third ship to release in the [[Alliance]] faction ship series and the second variant of the [[Alliance Chieftain]], the Alliance Crusader's primary advantage over the other two Alliance ships is its ability to equip a [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]], a feature that both the Chieftain and the [[Alliance Challenger]] lack. Consequently, it also boasts two additional pilot seats for [[Multicrew]], giving it a total of four seats versus the two of its companion ships.

Consequently, it also boasts two additional pilot seats for [[Multicrew]], giving it a total of four seats versus the two of its companion ships.

	The Alliance Crusader possesses an almost identical hardpoint layout to the Alliance Chieftain, but trades one Class 3 hardpoint for one Class 2 hardpoint, making it comparable to a [[Federal Assault Ship]] in terms of base firepower. Its increased mass drags its manoeuvrability and speed down when compared to the Chieftain and Challenger, although it does retain the trademark handling features of the ship series. Its agility surpasses that of every other medium-size ship able to launch fighters, including the Krait ~~MkII~~.

	The reduced number of hardpoints of the Crusader is compensated for by its ability to deploy Ship-Launched Fighters, resulting in it potentially being a stronger option for combat than it would appear to be at first glance, if a player is utilising a fighter bay.

	When compared to the Krait ~~MkII~~, the Crusader features a significantly lower top speed, superior agility, weaker shields, and a far more durable hull. Compared to the Federal Gunship, the Crusader is faster and far more agile, with relatively higher hull durability and similar but potentially lower shield capacity depending on the loadout; the Crusader must be fitted with a Class 5 shield generator if one wishes to make use of a Class 6 Fighter Hangar and 2 SLFs, thus trading defence for firepower.

	The Alliance Crusader is most commonly available in Alliance systems. Despite its name and affiliation, it requires no rank or reputation with the Alliance to purchase.
