While short combat forays are easily endured, long-term missions lasting two or more days can lead to frayed tempers and irritable crewmen. With the massive amounts of firepower that the vessel carries there was little room left for the crew so conditions are terribly cramped. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the crew if they are forced to use the ship for extended periods. The weapons and support systems work well together despite their being literally squeezed into the allotted space. This extra room allows the ship's massive quad-firing rocket pods to be installed as well as inclusion of the retractable missile battery slung under the ship. The enclosed nature of the craft means that there is actually more useful room to work with than with the traditional wing pylon structure of Santhe/Sienar craft. The only breaks in the solar-panelling are where the ships various weapons systems dot the hull. Instead, there is armored hull enclosing the entire ship with solar-panels plating the majority of the craft. The body of a Tulwar resembles a greatly elongated and enlarged Scimitar with the notable difference that there are no out-board wing structures on the Tulwars. The durability, damage capacity, and relatively small size of the Skipray Blastboat and the amazingly accurate fire control and superior speed and maneuverability of the Scimitar assault bomber were the exact qualities needed. With these criteria in mind Santhe/Seinar needed look no further than two of their own designs for inspiration. Turning to Santhe/Seinar Systems the Trianii placed an order for a new kind of ship that would retain the small, commando team oriented nature of the RX4s while being able to deal punishing blows to enemy craft, both starfighter and capital, in space combat. With the Trianii-Corporate Sector war heating up once more the Trianii decided that the old RX4s were simply incapable of providing the firepower needed to match the huge capital cruisers the CSA could field and that a newer, more modern, and more effective battlecraft was needed.
Commissioned by the Trianii Confederation as a replacement for their aging RX4 Patrol Craft the Tulwar's design concepts were drawn from two different starships.
