The Nomad-Class was a smaller Hydran Battleship, officially a Pocket Battleship, and while this did not seem like a good choice among the Guilds and Admirals, Prized Engineers Hygrantz and Hypatiplas both pointed out the Klingons partially successful fielding of Class X-XI Battleships, some of whom were capable of decent maneuverability.
Thus, the HMS Nomad was completed in May 10th, 2291, and was equipped with a squadron of 6 Stinger-X Fighters, and given a 1X Hellbore, as well as a pair of very high power Fusion Beams, and thirteen somewhat antiquated 0Xl Phasers that were readily available, but still useful, performing well in takebacks of Hydran Bases and Colonies from the Klingons, and making a name for itself.
Although it did well, none of the Guild heads or Admiralty could be convinced to build another, and the HMS Nomad continued to be used to head fleet assaults against the Klingons and Lyrans, then against the ISC when they started interdicting in 2296-2297. The HMS Nomad went into the Hydran Museum in 2314, of great interest to future generations of Hydrans.
