The HCS have shown off the first of 5 Soulaki SLBK battlecruisers, the most advanced warships yet built by the Clones they claim. The SLBK is a further evolution of the SLB itself an improvement on the original Soulaki as with the previous generation has modest improvements in a number of areas though no massive changes.
Top speed has been raised to 730c which is said to be the maximum possible with the engines fitted to the Soulaki, a new engine is said to be being developed for a future upgrade of the Soulaki fleet. The SLBK also has improved firepower and sensors. It is thought to also have an early version of an attack system like the DDS SAS to aid ground attack operations and also has datalink support for the Nybble NL drone.
