Designed by the Imperial Glisten Navy as the Type 1108, the Manzikert is not intended for independent operations. The strategist/designers intended it to be used as part of a balanced escort/light force grouping consisting of the general purpose Type 1107s, the high agility Yataghan missile boats, and the Manzikert class meson gun carriers. The Manzikert is one of the smallest jump capable craft anywhere in the Imperial inventory to carry a spinal meson gun, and almost everything else in the design process was sacrificed to achieve that objective.

The large fusion plant is usually operated at approximately one-third its full capacity, which provides maneuver and life support power. Endurance given below is at this reduced rate, and full power time can be traded on a one hour for three hour basis (Operating the plant at high capacity for anything less than an hour causes difficulties in changeover.)
