================================================================================================
Overview:
    To bolster its naval defense capabilities the Tharkad militia forces called for a fast but
    hardhitting naval vehicle. To meet these requirements and still be able to put on some
    considerable armor protection Taatyana Trans-Oceanic Shipyards answered with a heavy
    hydrofoil.

Capabilities:
    The Sparviero (italian for sparrowhawk) had a hefty weight of 85 tons but was still able to
    reach a speed of almost 120 kph. 15 tons of armor offerd good protection and the weapon
    loadout delivered a strong punch even at range. To deter pursuit two SRM-racks fire to the
    rear.

Deployment:
    The Sparviero was quite a success and was delivered to other Lyran worlds with significant
    oceans over the centuries.
    The production was discontinued after the fall of the StarLeague and only a handfull of
    these hydrofoils survived the Succession Wars until Taatyana Trans-Oceanic Shipyards
    stumbled over the blueprints in 3021 and resumed production.

Variants:
    As there was never much focus on bluewater navies upgrades never materialised.
