NOTE: the Starburst was known as the SEH (Starburst for Extreme Heroism) 
in Mega Trav. 

The Starburst is a common TL F light cruiser, often seen in regions that 
don't require heavy warship's.  Rather undistinguished, the vessel is 
most commonly seen on patrol, but can aquit itself fairly well against 
other light cruisers.  Ship's in this class are named after reciepients 
of the SEH.

Excepting sixe, the Starburst closely resembled the Planet-class heavy 
cruisers.
