The Bolitic are reported to have begun testing the prototype of a new class of warship which will replace both the Snarl and Meltinan classes in production by next year. The as-yet-unnamed class comes between the two older classes in size and makes heavy use of Utrek technology including an evolution of the powerplant used in the Molentic Tuul.
The ship is reported to be much more agile than the lumbering Snarl and maybe even the Meltinan too but also possessing a full battlecruiser complement of weapons and defences. It has a speed of around 800c and is said to be equipped with a battery of heavy energy cannons, missiles, energy drain lances, sub-atomic oscillators and other toys.
One thing the ship cannot do is carry a large number of Bolitic warriors as the Snarls and old Helwins can but this kind of capability is considered obsolete by the Bolitic these days.
