==Description==
The '''Jormungand''' is a [[Lyran Commonwealth]] [[Wet Navy|wet navy]] combat vessel introduced during the latter half of the [[Third Succession War]].  The ship was initially constructed by [[Skye Pleasure Craft, Ltd]]. of [[Skye]] for the oceanic militia command on [[Porrima]] in [[2902]].  By [[3067]], twenty of these vessels operated on ocean worlds throughout House Steiner's territory with [[Tharkad]] hosting three Jormungands, the most of any world. Though it is unclear if these ships saw action during the [[FedCom Civil War]], the Blakist occupation/blockade of Tharkad during the [[Jihad]] saw all three destroyed by the [[WarShip]] [[Tharkad (WarShip class)#Named Vessels|''Invincible'']].<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 229: "Naval Vessels/Military Vessels" - Article notes the destruction of all three Tharkad based Jormungand Cruisers</ref><ref name=HBHS171>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 171: "''Jormungand''-class Profile"</ref>

==Equipment and Capabilities==
The Jormungand's surface weapons are spread between five armored turrets; three forward and two aft. The ship has six turreted Long Tom artillery pieces split between Turret 2 & 6. Its close range armaments consist of paired of Particle Projection Cannons in the ship's no. 1 and 7 turrets, co-axed with a Class 10 Autocannon. In turret 3, the ship has a pair of twenty-tube Long Range Missile Launchers.<ref name=HBHS171/>

All of the ship's weaponry is controlled by an [[Advanced Fire Control]] system while ammunition is stored in [[CASE]]-protected sections of the ship and includes 60 tons of Long Tom artillery rounds, 24 tons of AC/10 ammo, 40 tons each of LRM & LR-Torpedos ammo and 24 tons of SR-Torpedos.  For defense the ship carries 216 tons of [[standard armor|armor]] evenly spread throughout the hull and the turrets.<ref name=HBHS171/>

* BHS ''Brynhild'' - This was a Jormungand vessel assigned to [[Blue Hole]]'s wet navy during the 3060s and 70s. The lone Jormungand acted as the navy's flagship and was escorted by a small number of [[Silverback|''Silverback'' Class Cutter]].<ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex'', p. 160: "Silverfin/Silverback Coastal Cutter profile" - Silverback escorts Blue Hole's flagship, Jormungand Class vessel, BHS ''Brynhild''</ref>

==Notes==
 
==Notes==
* The Jormungand was one of the first naval support vehicles to be presented in print, first seen in ''Handbook: House Steiner''. Due to changes in the construction rules, the original stats presented were flawed. In later publications, the ''Jormungand'' appeared in the ''Tactical Operation'' rulebook section for constructing advanced large support vehicles.  The vehicle, when published in ''Handbook: House Steiner'', was originally listed as a Template D size; however, later renditions of the ship had been changed to E.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 236: "The Basics of Advanced Unit Design section page. Size Template ship is revised."</ref>

* As of this writing, the current Battle Value for the Jormungand is found solely in ''Strategic Operations'' and ''Tactical Operations'' as a design-process example.
