Poltroon Class Submarine
The Poltroon Class of Nuclear Submarines was authorised by the Chief Secretary of the Imperial Forces in 1635.6110. The class represents an evolution of the hull design of the Asleep-class submarine employed by the Musican Navy. Any similarities with submersible vehicles of Minarborian origin are entirely coincidental.
The project is expected to take twelve ASC years to complete. The first phase will involve the construction of dockyard facilities in which to build and maintain the submarine type and is expected to take six years to complete. The remaining six years will see the construction phase of the three submarines.
