The Hornblower class of cruisers is named after the fictional Captain Horatio Hornblower, from the Horatio Hornblower series of novels written by C. S. Forester. Ships in the class are named after ships commanded by Hornblower in those novels; as of the end of the Boskone War, the Lydia, Sutherland, Witch of Endor, and Le Reve had entered service, while the Atropos and Hotspur were mothballed while still in construction drydock. There has been some discussion of re-designing and completing the Hotspur as an exploration craft, but internal politics within the Crystal Millennium have blocked all proposals to that end.[1]
The Hornblowers are the most heavily armed combat vessels in the Crystal Millennium fleet. They are all based out of Crystal Hiroshima; neither the design nor the ships are for sale.
Notes
- ↑ The Love subfaction refuses to fund construction of yet another warship during peacetime, while the Justice subfaction refuses to remove the weaponry from the partially-built cruisers. The shipwrights at Mare Marginis wonder how much longer their two largest drydocks will remain tied up and idle.
