Designed and built at Denirad for the High Senate. These ships operate within the Far Home Sector. The TL–11 fully streamlined needle/wedge structure hulls are lightly armored. They carry enough fuel, internally for a single jump 2, with a jump 1 reserve for strategic withdrawal. They can carry drop tanks with 28 days of power plant fuel and an additional jump 2 as needed. There are in service with the High Senatorial Navy. They are equipped with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness ocean refueling. The weapons include the best spinal mounted particle accelerator available at this technology level. There are 170 dual fusion gun turrets for point defense, 190 triple beam laser turrets, and 24 missile bays for offense. The defenses include the light hull armor, 4 repulsor bays, and 115 triple sand caster turrets. They have a pair of model 5 fib computers mounted adjacent to the bridge and are capable of 5 G acceleration and have a 2 agility rating. There are two of these monsters in the fleet, so far and more are planned.
