The Velocity was the third of the so-called "Generation 3" spaceship designs along with the Quasar and Isometric. However, construction was slow until the modified
Velocity-N / Type 37C design built by the Raegris. Earlier Velocities were later rebuilt to the same specification as the 37C to form a unified class. The Solaris is a powerful ship with good warfighting capabilities which fits between the heavy cruisers and destroyers in the NS line-up.
