Emperor Melson is understood to have ordered the construction of a new class of super-destroyers to supplement the Snarl in Bolitic service. The as yet unnamed ships will be the BS4209 and have been dubbed the "Super Snarl".
Details are sketchy but the ships will be larger than the Snarl, which interestingly goes against the trend in much of the rest of the known galaxy for smaller ships (though the Tarbotians are also sticking to large ships). A speed of 800c is predicted thanks to Utrek engine technology plus a large number of beam and projectile weapons. The first BS4209 could enter service next year.
