Hopkirk Hornet (3655, 3657-65)
The Hopkirk Hornet appeared on the scene just as the Outpost Dispute began in earnest, plugging a crucial gap the Enforcer couldn't in the opening months. Iskeltu sided with the 'Outer' colonies, strategically offering multiple footholds for attacks on the 'Inner' ones.
The Hornet was thrown out in large numbers (104) until the plant was damaged by an assault in 3656. Post-war, the Hornet was resumed as a system patroller and convoy escort vessel.
