The Raegris Intelligence Service is reporting that the Bolitic are building the prototype of a new battlecruiser to supplement and later replace the Snarl. The new ship has not yet been named though is reported to be quite different to earlier Bolitic types. The ABBO-Bolitic War was a wake-up call to the Bolitic and to the fact that the self-styled "Gods of War" have fallen behind the curve somewhat.
The new ship is based around a cluster pack of combat missiles with a rotary launcher built into the nose (similar to the Kelsan KS bomber of the HCS however these missiles are for space combat not planetary strike). These missiles are said to be a new type of enhanced radiation nuclear weapon designed to break up enemy formations and overwhelm sensors with radiation. The rest of the ship is a lot more compact to the Snarl (and the Helwin which preceded it) and is more akin to the Meltinan.
No other details or any estimated entry into service are known.
