   Comments: The Imperial Navy has just announced the construction of the first TL 16 warship, the Chimera-class battleship. While much of the specifications are still classified, it is reported this ship has jump-4, an unbelievable 8-G acceleration and a new spinal meson gun. The Chimera is just completing trials and is reportedly being assigned to the Spinward Marches once final trails and fitting out are concluded.
