Background	Originally conceived under the name SCGSW or Surface Combatant Global Strike Weapon to give the full title, the Northwind class is classified as a heavy destroyer owing to being in the same weight class as the Specula Class but is designed to operate differently, if the Specula class is a shield the Northwind class is a sword, but also it is the great experiment for Achkaerinese shipbuilding, a nuclear powered 'combatant' vessel i.e. a ship potentially likely to be engaged in direct fighting with an enemy force, it isn't without risk in this context but with the future of operations in mind and consideration of the climate. The Northwind also is the first asset in the Achkaerinese military to operate the pilotfish system, an extra shield (or sword) at the vessels disposal.

Background	With the advent of the 'five dimensional chess' view of warfare (sub surface, surface, air, space and cyber) the cyber element had been initially fulfilled in naval terms by the Fawn Azurewind class, but it had long been desired for the role to be taken up by a submersible given the methods in which cyber warfare are waged. So the Marill class was conceived and developed over many years. It is primarily a scout class vessel but does fulfill a few specialist roles.
