Only three WarShips of the former Clan Ice Hellion would survive to join Clan Goliath Scorpion. These vessels were the Potemkin-class Troop Cruiser Coterie and the Lola III-class Destroyers Impaler and Radiant. All of these vessels had been previously overhauled and modified by Clan Ice Hellion to better suit their own needs . . . and Clan Goliath Scorpion no longer had the ability (or resources) to redesign the vessels to suit their own Touman. Accordingly, these ships retained the configurations they had adopted during service to Clan Ice Hellion.
As always, the Hellions were believers in speed. All three WarShips had been modified for greater thrust at the expense of cargo space. The weapons were also streamlined and a battery of secondary anti-fighter/anti-DropShip weaponry added. HPGs were standard on all three WarShips, which (like the vast majority of Clan WarShips in service during and after the Clan Invasion) also mounted Lithium-Fusion Batteries. Armor plating was increased as well.
The two Lola III-class Destroyers Impaler and Radiant were modified into a design designated by Clan Ice Hellion as the Hussar-class. Thrust was increased to 2.5-g's safe and 4-g's maximum overthrust, while armor protection was increased to 604 tons of ferro-carbide plating. The weapons array was streamlined, with twin NAC-20 naval autocannon batteries in the broadsides and stern quarters arrays, while the nose, stern, and fore-quarters featured a capital missile launcher with 40 missiles and three NL-45 Naval Lasers. The fore-quarters and stern all mounted a Barracuda launcher, while the nose held a Killer Whale mount.
Secondary armament consisted of two LRM-20 long-range missile launchers (fitted with Artemis IV Fire Control Systems and fed by 20 tons of ammunition), three Large Pulse Lasers, two ER PPCs, two Gauss Rifles (with 15 tons of ammunition), and four Ultra AC-5 Autocannons (supplied with 24 tons of ammunition); this weapons array was repeated on each facing of the WarShip.
1,013 double strength heat sinks allowed these WarShips to fully use this weapons array, even if surrounded by hostile vessels.
Fuel stores was increased to allow for 360 days of operations at 1-g, while life support and provisions were allocated to allow the 480 crew and passengers to function for the same length of time.
Both Impaler and Radiant were outfitted with a HPG as well as Lithium-Fusion Batteries, but the WarShip's structural integrity was decreased slightly to accommodate these systems. Cargo was also reduced to just 34,000 tons of spare parts and an additional 34,000 tons of available cargo volume. 25 Marine Elementals, 10 Aerospace or Omni-Fighters, and 4 Small Craft were also embarked on each destroyer.

In a similar fashion, the Potemkin-class Coterie was modified from its original design. Often referred to as the Coterie-class, more often it was simply referred to as a "Hellion-type Potemkin".
Fuel stores was increased to allow for 540 days of operations at 1-g of acceleration; life support and provisions for up to 960 crew and passengers was expanded for a like amount. The engines were removed and replaced with larger and more powerful units, allowing for a safe thrust of 1.5-g's and a maximum overthrust of 2.5-g's. This required the reduction in cargo capacity to just 75,500 tons of spare parts and two cargo bays each able to store up to 75,500 tons of bulk cargo.
Coterie retain the Lithium-Fusion Batteries typical of the Clan [i[Potemkin[/i]s, but also added an HPG. Ten small craft and 100 Elemental Marines were embarked.
Armor was increased to 2,412 tons of ferro-carbide, providing excellent protection.
The forward, fore-quarters, aft-quarters, and all mounted identical weapon arrays: two Barracuda Capital Missile Launchers (with 100 missiles stored), four NL-45 Naval Lasers, two LRM-20 launchers with Artemis IV FCS (60 twin salvos), three Large Pulse Lasers, two ER PPCs, two Gauss Rifles (60 twin shots), and four Ultra Ac-5 Autocannons (60 quadruple double-taps). The stern mounted just 3 NL-45s, but retained all other weapon systems.
The broadsides and stern-quarters arcs had the same secondary weapons, but mounted a four-gun battery of NL-45 Naval Lasers and two three-gun batteries of Heavy Naval PPCs.
4,153 double-strength heat sinks allowed Coterie to use this entire armament as needed, regardless of how many arcs the WarShip needed to fire simultaneously.
