A Raegris patrol is reported detecting a new version of the Bolitic Snarl class battlecruiser which was doing 500c, much faster than earlier models which could only reach 300c. Some years ago the Utrek began to assist the Bolitic with engine technology and this could be the start of the fruits of these labours. If the reports are correct then it would have strategic implications.
Bolitic warships like the Snarl are very powerful and heavily armed though their weakness has been the slow speed. if the Bolitic have increased their speeds to this extent then it will make the Bolitic threat much more serious.
