History & Background (Dossier)

It was originally designed as a long range colonizer spaceship. A squadron of twenty of these massive vessels are in orbit around Krota (Gzirr!k'l 1833). They are in Krotan Primacy territory, no one is sure of their allegiance, despite the obvious K'kree naval architecture.
