Retired ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Reggie Hotspurn]], a legendary ace pilot from the [[Fourth Succession War]], suggested a refit of retired ''Sholagar''s to the relatively low-tech SL-21G specifications. Eschewing [[double heat sink]]s or advanced weaponry, the use of a 280 [[XL engine]] allowed for a doubling of the fuel capacity and the addition of four [[small laser]]s, as well as half a ton of storage space.
