A radical departure from the typically angular Hadean aesthetic, the sleek Varka was designed as a mid-point between singleships and the Kolarbok-class Patrol Escort. The Varka fulfills many duties, such as scouting, moderate fighter screening, and even attack runs on capital ships, although it is ill-suited for the extended flights undertaken by its big sister. Crewed by six, the Varka is armed with two light guns and eight forward-facing light torpedo tubes, and is very fast and heavily-armored for its size.
