The Shriek class missile boat was designed for the Imperial Navy by ConTech of Glisten in 1112, as part of a proposed test of an 'escort rider' squadron. The theory of course, is that what works well for larger combatants should work well for smaller ones. However, several delays in funding had pushed the projected test date into 1123 by the time that Glisten was overrun by the Aslan in 1121. Only six Shrieks had been built, and they served with distinction racking up twenty three kills of smaller Aslan warships at a loss of only one Shriek. The five surviving boats were evacuated aboard a Lobachevsky class fleet tender during the Imperial Glisten Navy's final retreat from the system around 110-1121, and are currently (1122) defending the now-strategic starport in the Grote system.
