"As we find ourselves with only a month and a half left before 4050AD is upon us, with the colonisations of Luna, Mars and its terraforming project, and even laying claim to the third world in the Ross-128 system, so too has the SLN advanced as society has. With the backdrop of the conflict against the Terminids of distant 119 Piscium and the incursions of the stealthships of the Intruders, the SLN was determined to reforge itself into a fleet with black-sky expeditionary capability. Not only did this mean rehauling existing designs with new technology, but it meant new auxiliary vessels were required for this grand change. Whether or not the SLN can break its formative mould of its earlier years remainds to be seen.
Jayne's Intelligence Review - The Solarian League Navy, A Century of History
The new Warhawk-class, as with its larger brethren, is an updated variant of the preceding Madrigal. Improvements in Warshawki drives have allowed the installation of a smaller drive that is as effective as its precedent, allowing for a minor reduction in tonnage. Together with the new inertial fusion drive, this allows the Warhawk to attain velocities of just under 700 km/s more than the Madrigals, and it is equipped with new Xi S50 sidewalls and uprated point defence systems courtesy of Laudergaugh Kinetics, as well as uprated sensor jamming technology. Improvements in sensor technology have led to the replacement of the active sensors and passive EM/thermo sensors with more sensitive equivalents, as well as long-ranged fire controls for the 20cm laser batteries. With improvements in engine tech, as well as missile guidance and warhead advancements, the Mark 3 ASM and Mark 7 CM have been replaced with the new Mark 5 and Mark 8 respectively, and magazine allocations made to reduce the number of CM's in favour of ensuring complete loads for the D10 launchers.

As with its destroyer sibling, the Sphynx-class has benefitted from the same upgrades in fire controls, passive defences, especially with the new Xi S92 sidewalls, missile loads, drive replacements, sensors and EW systems. The key differences with this new design are that speed parity with SLN destroyers is no more, due to the necessity of retaining a dual reactor layout to help feed the faster-charging twenty-five centimetre lasers. In addition, the Mk40 Pinnaces have been replaced with the faster Mk41 design. Although the option to fit an additional drive was considered, the already-increased speed as well as the greater fuel efficiency and reach offered by the new drives offset this favourably in the eyes of the Admiralty.

As with other designs updated in the current programme, the Admiral-class has benefitted from the same fleet-wide technological updates, including faster-charging thirty centimetre-lasers and the newer, stronger Xi grade sidewalls. Current plans by the Admiralty will see one of the class assigned to each of the League's worlds, with a further two intended for use leading smaller taskgroups into the Terminid front.

With the new improvements in drive technology, the Homer-class will be moving into production within the next few years, intended to produce two flagships initially, before moving onto a division once more worlds have been colonised in the drive to 119 Piscium. In addition to fast charging forty-centimetre lasers, the Homer has also swapped its S5 decoy launchers for the newer and more capable S10 variant. The battlecruiser is also planned currently to be the only ship in the SLN that will carry EDM's as a standard part of its arsenal.
