Built locally at Murada (world) for the The Last Line, which is the youngest state within the Distant Fringe, located in the coreward/spinward quadrant of Halcyon Sector. They use this class to patrol and defend seven star systems. The design was originally envisioned as a light cruiser, the massive fusion power plant and particle accelerator spinal mount were never assembled in time and rather than scrap it, the fleet re-purposed it. The fleet uses these to move two 1,000 ton Murada Class Battle Riders and two 100 ton Last Line Class Fleet Couriers. This allows the couriers to scout farther from the fleet. It carries a small squadron of ten 10 ton fighters to cover the deployment and recovery of its riders. It is a lightly armored, partially streamlined cylindrical structure with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness gas giant refueling. The ship is capable of jump 2, and carries enough internal fuel for two jumps. They are fitted with 28 days of extra power plant fuel and well as another jump 2 drop tank for increased range when crossing rift zones. The maneuver drives develop 1G acceleration with a 1 agility rating. For combat management and defense it carries a model 5 fib computer adjacent to the main bridge. It is armed with ten 100 ton missile bays, a particle accelerator bay, a repulsor bay and eight triple sand caster turrets for defense.
