Built at the Brother's Boatyards on a local moon, this series of Gunboats was discontinued after only a brief production run. One prototype the TNS Bramble was tested by the local Naval Base, and a production run was ordered. It was halted after only three ships were completed, the TNS Albacon, TNS Missiletoe, and the TNS Watchful. The ships were popular with crews as they were sleek and agile. The were easy to fly and performed well. Their plasma cannons were grouped for close in point defense against enemy missile barrages. However, the lack of fuel refineries made them vulnerable to misjumps from unrefined fuel. Their lack of fiber optic computer redundancy made them vulnerable to radiation damage. The armor cladding and energy absorbant platelets were too light to protect from heavy bombardment. One battered example survives today in a fleet space museum. This battle is the first and last time they ever saw combat duty and their performance is credited with ending the production line.
