This design is a product of the orbital boatyards of Tal Varisa (Far Home 0911), and represent one of the most dangerous battle lines anywhere in this region of space. Almost no other power can stand against their firepower and overwhelming numbers. The spinal particle accelerator and shoals of missiles can batter and dispose of most enemy ships of the line. This design serves with the Firstworlds fleet. It is an fully streamlined, needle/wedge structure hull fitted with fuel scoops and on board fuel purification for wilderness ocean refueling. These ships give the appearance of a heavy cruiser and carry the appropriate weapons load, their weakness is the lack of reinforced hull armor. However, their true function is disguised by subtle misdirection. They serve as tankers for the Magada Class Battleships on special long range strikes. They are fitted with enough internal fuel for two jump 2s and a single jump 1. They have storage capacity for an additional 3,045 tons of fuel to service other vessels and can carry jump 2 drop tank. For defense they have a repulsor bay, carry 25 triple sand caster turrets in five batteries. They have 10 triple beam laser turrets, 10 dual plasma gun turrets firing in a point defense role, the best spinal particle accelerator available at this technology level and 400 triple missile turrets for offense. They can carry 120 marines with 95 drop capsules, a squadron of ten 10 ton light fighters and two 20 ton recovery boats. The low watch can be used to replace crew loses or for extra troops. They are fitted with a pair of model 5 fib computers, and are capable of 3G acceleration and have 2 agility.
