MuRN A22 Foxbat is a type of fast-attack nuclear submarine built by the Gudersnipe Foundation for the Crimson Blade. Originally fielded during the Kamian Succession Wars, the over-all design characteristics proved so versatile that variants with progressive technology upgrades remained in service all the way to the end of the Sixth Age, and a completely new design(but keeping the old name) was brought out during the New Day.

Background

Very early on, the Kamians demonstrated a fondness for orbital bombardment (a technique the Foundation is typically loathe to employ). As they could not guarantee complete superiority above the atmosphere, the Foundation quickly realized that in order to take and keep beachheads on occupied planets, they were going to need a new class of weapon.

While MuRNs had existed since the days of the old Gudersnipe Army as had submarines, the idea was concieved to create a new fast-attack submarine with the fire power and capabilities of a destroyer.
