Capax class littoral cruiser
Length: 232 m
Width: 151 m
Height: 116 m
Although the word "littoral" doesn't mean anything in regards to space and this ship ain't even a cruiser - "Capax" is quite a capable little fella.
It should be classified as a frigate based on its' size, but the marketing team decided that selling a "cruiser" to small home-defence forces and corpos would make it more desirable. And the word "littoral" sounds better than "short range".
Even with the mislead it was a good ship for its' designated role: system defense. It has decent sublight speed, formidable weaponry and a small protected hangar to house a fighter squadron.
It performs well both on its own - for small tasks like pirate/smuggler hunting - and as a part of a fleet. But in one-on-one combat against a similar sized frigate it can fall behind: it lacks a punch in heavy weaponry. But it is very effective against groups of smaller vessels - like corvettes, pickets and starfighters.
It was developed during the Insectoid War for corporations and far-off systems to defend themselves - and although it was no hero of major battles it was important for holding The Federation together behind the frontlines.
The Federation Navy wasn't really interested in Capax class - they had their own ships, but interestingly the Army ended up using a lot of these. They didn't need long range to protect military installations but they absolutely required the versatility.
Capax class became so popular that it still produced to this day - long after the Insectoid Wars ended.

Just a nice small ship for you to enjoy. I used some custom parts here - all modeled after Sluban sets. Why doesn't Lego have them - is a mystery to me.
