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 initial project, commenced in 6110 took twelve ASC years to complete. The first phase involved the construction of dockyard facilities in which to build and maintain the submarine type and took take six years to complete. The remaining six years saw the construction phase of the three initial submarines.

One dockyard was reserved for fleet maintenance whilst the other two were assigned to the purpose of constructing further boats in the same class. With improvements derived from economies of scale and efficiencies derived from improving methodologies during each build, the dockyards, located on the island of Amity, aim at a construction rate of two new boats every four ASC years.
