Named for its blunt prow, studded by the ‘whiskers’ of its gravitational sensor and missile fire control system, the design suffered from a slow top speed and limited armament, largely due to the weight penalty of its steel hull.

These changes made it significantly faster than the Arnica-class Gunship that was its design partner, and a squadron of B-1/Bs could match its throw weight in number of munitions.

The twin engines of the B-1/B were replaced with a single, larger engine, and a fourth missile rack was added to the design, with two pylons on each wing. The larger engine was more efficient than the twin engines of the B-1/B, and gave the B-1/C half again as much range alongside a higher top speed despite being four tons heavier.

With a redesigned and far sleeker hull made of Duranium and powered by the first TN strike craft engine, it was far faster and with a far greater range than the B-1/C ‘Catfish’. The sole difference between the B-1/A and /B models were the upgraded sensors and fire control system.

Its design goal was to be able to intercept and down hostile strike craft and torpedoes, as well as provide escort to the bomber squadrons. For this purpose, it was equipped with the RN/FGP-16 sensor - while far shorter ranged than the RN/FGA-10 of the Black Ghost, the Heron’s sensor was optimized to the point of being able to detect and engage small, fast moving missiles and torpedoes. Its downfall was the slow rate of fire of its railgun system - 1 shot every 5 seconds.

It went through a number of design revisions as the materials science of the hull advanced. Unlike the B-1 ‘Catfish’ series, its general design changed little over the years, the advances in hull materials mostly allowed the designers to add a modicum of armor plating and increase its throw weight.

While an unsuccessful design in comparison to later Trans-Newtonian ships, the Arnica-class provided the Kingdom with vital ship design and building experience. It also gave rise to the smaller Gunboat designs that followed its design philosophy of offering a devastating alpha strike in a small package.

The Arnica-B modification of the original design was more extensive than the designers wanted, a result of design oversights in the original model as well as advances from TN technology. The heart of the Arnica-B redesign was stripping and rearmoring the hull in Duranium, removing the conventional engines and replacing them with 3 L-AEL engines of the same time as were developed for the Emerald class, and the removal of the Type I external racks. The space freed up from doing so allowed the designers to add an auxiliary bridge and larger fuel tanks, extending the design’s range. Notably, it retained the scant 3 month deployment time and remained notably slower than its successor Redoubt and Steil designs.

It manages to possess a similar range, speed and passive defenses to its larger cousin, alongside a sensor suite optimized to detect and engage hostile torpedoes. However, it does so at the cost of its offensive capability. The design carries only four light missile launchers and a single railgun, leaving it incapable of effectively engaging offensively.

The Redoubt is the first design of the so-called ‘Fast Fleet’ movement in the Navy. With more than 40% of its mass devoted to engines and fuel, the design sacrifices passive defenses and weaponry to achieve its higher speed. Despite the different weight distribution, the design is quite a bit sturdier than the Arnica-B that it replaced, marking the first use of energy shields in Kingdom Naval design, alongside a battery of three 10cm railguns that are useful in both an offensive and defensive role.

The Emerald-class was the Kingdom’s first survey ship. Its initial design was nearly 1,100 tons heavier and included three RN/MOA-8 sensors. Removing one of those bulky sensors allowed a revision of the proposed engine block, which allowed for a smaller fuel tank and less engineering space needed. The final form became the survey ship that mapped the Sol system.

While suitable for work in the inner system, it was noticeable that the greater distances of the Oort Cloud resulted in many extra trips as the design simply spent too great a percentage of its deployment time and fuel simply on reaching and returning from its survey areas.

When the Kingdom discovered the ruins of the Terra Federation scattered through the Sol system, they also discovered that the Federation had left a legacy - the Legions of Iron, robotic warriors designed to supplement and support their armed forces. These tireless sentries continued to watch over the ruins of the fallen civilization, and the Kingdom was forced to fight them for every ruin.

The Rio Grande-class was a simple solution that allowed the Kingdom to field a Regiment-sized force anywhere in the Sol system. A group of five operating together could deploy an entire Division within three days.

It did have a number of shortcomings - its troop accommodations were quite spartan as a result of their need to modularly fit everything from an infantry regiment to battalions of medium Armigers, it was very slow, and it was completely undefended and unarmored, requiring an escort from the Navy anywhere it went.
