Description
Based on the ancient Silverfin Coastal Cutter, this design was upgraded for use for the Lyran Alliance's Wet Naval forces. The hydrofoil was geared to safe guard high value Wet Navy or Bluewater ships such as, Jormungand Bluewater Cruiser. The ships are however, lightly armored. They need to rely on its speed and ECM capacities for protection.
These ships are highly prized by Milita Navies in the Alliance for its Electronic Warefare capacity. Three of these ships are known to be permenantly stationed on world of Blue Hole for escort duty of its Jomungand Class ship, the BHS Brynhild.
Armaments & Features

The ship features a Hydrofoil chassis and control modifications, lifeboat, Searchlight
Cargo
