     The Thunderbolt-class Cruiser is shaped like a flattened cone, with
a large fin on the ventral side aft and extending a small distance above
the dorsal; it is fully streamlined, but cannot land.  It has two
bridges, each with a 5fib computer, and dampers.  It carries a 50t
cutter.

     Ships of the Thunderbolt class follow several naming schemes.  Some
are named for destructive forces (Firestorm, Earthquake, Avalance, etc),
others for fast and/or powerful animals (Ram, Lion, Elephant, etc), and
some for stellar objects (Nova, Nebula, Quasar, etc).

     Number in service: 100.

Serendip Sentinel Class SDB

      The SDB is another old design, with a heavily armored conical
hull.  The crew compartment inside is a sphere, perched on the drives
and surrounded by fuel.  The SDB can remain on station for four weeks,
longer if a supply of fuel is available.  It carries no small craft.

     Ships of the Sentinel class are not officially named, but
designated by number.  Many have acquired informal names over their
lifespan.

     Number in service: 3000.

Serendip Type PB Planetoid Battery

The Bulwark Class Planetoid Battery is meant to get as many missile batteries as possible into space as cheaply as possible. The other batteries are chiefly meant to absorb weapon hits, although they can of course be useful against small craft. The vessel is equipped with extra fuel tanks, giving it an extended duration of 5 months and, more importantly, increased resistance to fuel hits. Only one third of the planetoid is used. It is hoped that this will result in increased armour protection. If this turns out to be the case it will be possible to reduce the artificial armour used, thus making the Mark II battery cheaper.

Notes: this is a plantoid monitor, intended for system defense. The
_Gibralter_ class is mostly deployed in the Neubayern system, but these
monitors can be repositioned by _Rhine_ class tenders. This ship has a
frozen watch. These monitors have fuel purification plants, but depend
on other ships to scoop fuel.
