RCS Milton was a heavy cruiser, informally known as the Millie.7:3

Initially in the service of Alliance Fleet as AFS Scheer, it was captured by Daniel Leary, repaired, and brought into service for the Republic of Cinnabar Navy. Its Alliance 20-cm plasma cannon were replaced by RCN standard 8-inch guns. Leary, promoted to Captain, was appointed the captain of the Milton. It massed 13,000 tons.

The cruiser was shaped like a steel cigar, six hundred and fourteen feet in length between perpendiculars. She had thirty-two antennas. The main yards were greater in diameter than the masts of the Princess Cecile. Indeed, each of the two outriggers which stabilized the Milton while she floated in harbor was greater in volume than a corvette. Battleships were much bigger yet, but even so the cruiser was ten times the Sissie‘s familiar size. She carried 312 missiles, and a bolt from her eight-inch plasma cannon was orders of magnitude more powerful than one from four-inch tubes on Princess Cecile.7:1
