History-
The R-8 was a further development into Third-Generation Hulls and to use a diverse array of firepower, and storage areas, and was highly successful as a defense vessel for larger ships, and were quickly repaired and refitted, causing them to often appear at many events, the final six were finally retired and relegated to the Road to the Stars Spaceflight Museum in 2332.

The most prominent vessel of this class was the IRV Sandpyre, Captained by Trelonius Mirroriamas, an ornery Son of an Industry Overseer, and who captained his vessel from 2279-2299, and sent his vessel to destroy two ISC Intelligence Outposts and Light Frigates, and took out a group of three Orion Slavers, and the Gorn MA-12 Heavy Cruiser GCS Gornthormidar, all in 2284.
