Like the Lance, the Javelin class was designed following the Fifth Frontier War, as a result of the extremely poor performance of the thencurrent three classes of light fighters employed as auxiliaries by IGN warships. Sizing of the Javelin was dictated by the existence of 20 ton capable launch tubes on board some classes of existing warships. Lack of computer ability was the major complaint of the previous classes, and the Javelin mounts a high performance Comp 7. This is responsible for about 75% of the total cost per unit.
