The Clawed Fist Fleet scout Thralkas, a Hithssir-class vessel, was first brought out of the Nalhom orbital shipyards in 2995. As a scout vessel, it required minimal personnel - it was stripped down to the basic essentials, allowing it to move quickly through OtherSpace on its intelligence-gathering and advance reconnaisance missions. The mission of the Thralkas and its crew was to serve as the eyes and ears of the Parallax, keeping watch over the activities of Nalhom's galactic neighbors.
