Large, slow, and ungainly, the Thantos cruisers were the last
major vessel produced by the Skathelon's
shipyards merged with those of the Asber.
Refitted with slightly more modern weapons, and crewed with
conscripts, Thantos cruisers serve picket duty for the Imperium,
and in the occasional mass fleet action. Outclassed and usually
simply bypassed by Yaeger ships, the Thantos cruisers that remain
are often used as punishment duty for incompetent Imperial
commanders.
