The design was based on an older [[Star League Era|early Star League Era]] design known as the [[Dig King]]. The design was produced uninterrupted until the [[FedCom Civil War]], when [[Archon-Princess]] [[Katrina Steiner-Davion]] required the company to produce more military models. Achernar stopped production for a period of two years, but never retooled the line, allowing the design to continue production until the [[Jihad]], in 3077 when coalition forces damaged the main Achernar factory.
