This design operates with the 112th Fleet in service in the Quinoid Subsector. Crews imagine themselves and their vessels, superior to the Yarra Class War Sloops. This streamlined, flattened sphere is equipped for ocean refueling with scoops and fuel purification. These hulls have some armor and are manufactured at TL–15 in small numbers. Its powerful Model 9 fib computer ensures accurate targeting and graceful sensor tracking capabilities, even in heavy ECM environments. It carries two dual fusion gun turrets which each fire independently, two triple beam laser turrets, firing as a single battery and four triple missile turrets, grouped into a single battery. It is capable of jump 4 and has 6 Gs acceleration, and is very agile and elusive in combat. Their main restriction is the lack of marines and cargo space, which keeps them on a short logistical leash.
