Hathway-class orbitor

"Light patrollers are worn sights that always show when you are close to shore. Remember that."

- Petty Officer Jonathan Strange

The Hathway-class orbitor was an old but widely-used model of military spacecraft that were in service throughout the early- and mid-twenty-second century. Built by the Procellarum Shipbuilding Company and Halifax Spacewerx between 2124 and 2167, it was named after Lieutenant Danny H. Hathway, an English junior officer who served aboard one of the first armed warships in space.
