Development

Colonial gunboat design. Intended to serve on colonial and foreign stations. The design was loosely based on the earlier Khanka class but with some major improvements. Outdated VTE engines were selected as cost-saving meassure and due the fact that these boats did not require high speeds in their intended role.
