Serving with the Vargr Navy this design is a class of smaller strike cruiser, optimized for long range penetration raids. They are inexpensively built at a shipyard in the Ksethu (world) system. There has been no official explanation for the odd hull size. Rumors persist that it involved a labor dispute over hull grade metal ore refinery quotas versus foundry overtime pay. The hull is large by Vargr standards and the ship is more advanced than several classes of larger Vargr warships. The hull is a very lightly armored, streamlined needle/wedge fitted with fuel scoops and purification refineries for ocean refueling. Ship's vehicles include: two 25 ton Gigs which are occasionally replaced with light fighter/interceptors. There are twenty particle accelerator barbettes firing as two batteries, a light meson gun spinally mounted, eleven batteries of triple missile turrets for launching anti-shipping torpedoes, ten dual fusion gun turrets firing as a single battery, and twenty triple pulse laser turrets fire as two batteries. The screens are near maximum for this TL–14 design. There are 6 triple sand caster turrets in single battery to compensate for the thin armor (carbon nanotube mesh over forged aluminum and titanium platelets) on the hull. The jump 5 capacity is essential in its role as a light strike cruiser, however, it lumbers without agility and has only 3G's acceleration. The smaller power plant, combined with the massive power draw of the meson gun are blamed. The model 7 fib computer is slightly out of date, and it is fitted military grade sensors, adjacent to the bridge.
