Notes:

The Malkop Class Light Cruiser was commisioned by the Solomani Confederation
Navy in 1003 to replace their ageing and obselescent Pyrrhus Class ships,
which had suffered disproportionate losses against more advanced Imperial
ships.  The Light Cruiser is not really suited for fleet actions, but it's
2500Mj spinal Meson Gun makes this possible, if the task force commander is
prepared to take losses.

The Malkop proved it's worth in service against states rimward of the
Confederation and in 'border incidents' with the Imperium following it's
entry into service in 1013.  By the outbreak of the Rebellion and the
subsequent invasion of the Imperium by Solomani Confederation forces in
1117, the Malkop was approaching obselesence.  A TL 15 replacement, the
12,000T 'Melbourne' Class, entered service in 1128, but the number of
Malkop's produced over the past century ensured their continued service.  A
number were transferred to planetary navies and the forces of Solomani
client states, but the vast majority still bore the 'cross-hair' symbol of
the Solomani Confederation at the Collapse.

Very few examples of this vessel survived into the New Era.  Two ships, the
SNS 'Voronezh' and the SNS 'Nowy Huta', were recovered by the Near Bootes
Commonwealth.  The 'Voronezh' (now named the MN 'Medoc') has been refitted
and now serves as the flagship of the Near Bootean naval forces.  The 'Nowy
Huta' is slowly being restored to active service by the Royal Teuceri Navy,
it is expected to enter service as the HMTS 'Prince Hamura' in late 1201.

All examples of the 'Malkop' class light cruiser were initially named for
towns and cities on the Eurasian land mass of Terra.  Examples:  'Ulan Ude',
'Archangelsk', 'Cheb', 'Hyderabad' and 'Semiplatinsk'.
