History-

In 2287, Starfleet Intelligence noticed an alarming development in some Orion Hulls of larger than Class VII in two more distant yards, close to Dystressian Space, and over a year later, the first of these, dubbed the "Thunderer", engaged the USS Hastings, and a bloody, equal battle occured, in which both vessels were badly damaged, and the Thunderer managed to use it's Orion Warp Engine Doubling and ECM to escape.

The Class makes use of some pirated Megaphasers, and a vast Orion Disruptor and Klingon Torpedo arsenal, seeming to operate as a much larger warship than almost all previous Orion designs, due to some successful use as Privateers and Mercenaries in the General War.

Two of these vessels made it into the Orion Space Navy in 2298, who used these vessels as a demonstration that they are indeed, good as a peacekeeping force, and good for mobilizing numerous freelancers, not just a part of the usual OSN polishing of Medals and bourgois boasting.
