I just got my copy of CL 49, and I was wondering at the background of this ship. Thanks,

Matt

Not really any background. Module R7 describes it as a design in competition with the design that became the Condor, but lists it as unbuilt.

CL 24 has a history of the "Heavy Hawks," says attempts to push the SparrowHawk/FireHawk to a larger class would have worked if the Romulan budget had allowed.

The main advantage the DemonHawk would have provided had it been built was its higher degree of modularity, since it can fit a pair of SparrowHawk/FireHawk modules and a single SkyHawk module. (The "default" DMH assumes the presence of a pair of Firehawk-K modules and a SkyHawk-A module.)

One (in)famous configuration noted over on the BBS is the "REDHawk", which combines a pair of SparrowHawk-E modules with a SkyHawk-C module. These allow the ship to operate two gunboat flotillas at once, while offering a quartet of special sensors with which to support them.

The REDHawk would have made for a dangerous RTN-hunter - or rather, should a future FC module add fast patrol ships to this game system, could potentially make for one here, too.
