The First Balderdash Class, aka the "Priority Transport", designed by Stephen Metrulas, was more like a Dreadnought, and simply an overgunned armored nightmare. This B-1 model was somewhat more reasonable, and with the Orion Syndicate using a few Man-o-War designs and Battlecruisers to destroy targets and combine most of the Cartels into one groups, it was thought that this one could potentially work in the new order.
A single unit was built by a combined group of Ruddies and Yridian Traders in the Harlequin System in 2290. It was unmaneuverable, slow, and due to mass limits, didn't even have any Opt Mounts, much less Heavy Weapons; - and so just operated as an oversized Blockade Runner until being destroyed by a pair of Wanderers in 2296.
