Thorgrim
The Thorgrim is a Swedish design to meet its commitments to the EUSF and still maintain neutrality – as a monitor, it is considered a defensive vessel to protect EU colonies and EU flagged merchant convoys.  The Thorgrim is a powerful system ship of cruiser displacement, trading a stardrive for a heavy mixed battery of weapons.  The main offensive punch of the monitor comes from its Class-3 laser with all-aspect firing ability and two Pulse Torpedo Launchers with a forward firing aspect.  The secondary batteries have all aspect fire ability, and six British made R-45 Lancer or French made M.23 Espadons light antiship missiles give the Thorgrim the ability to challenge nearly any foe.  The Thorgrim also has the ability to board and seize any vessels it disables, and is commonly used for deep space rescue and recovery operations using its shuttle.

Six Thorgrims have been constructed by Mercer Heavy Industries to defend the Sagittarius side of the Stargate and to patrol the Gateway and Fury Systems.  Two were lost when the Stargate crashed in late January 2361.  The SDC is considering ordering more Thorgrims to patrol other systems, but at the moment any such vessels constructed would have to be partially disassembled and shipped via VLCCs or other freighters, as the Conrad class stardrive tug cannot accommodate such a large vessel, and there are no larger stardrive tugs available in Sagittarius.
