Description
New version of Killer class, inspired by revised Torturer, and closer to original sketch. Figured that habitation section around middle should be more prominent on such an old ship; it likely had a larger crew than later vessels.

The Killer Class is based on the brief description of the Attitude Adjuster in Excession (chapter 6), as long, sleek, 'double-ended', and reminiscent of the axle and hubs of a ship's windlass. I could probably cleave a bit more closely to that. I also wanted it to look like it came from the same design school as the Hooligan. In Consider Phlebas (chapter 9), the Class (originally an ROU) is described as 200m long (or is that just the engine?).
