The Imperial Ripper was a spherical, dreadnought-style ship produced and utilized by the Kzin Navy, starting from the latter part of the 24th century. They were one of the only new designs produced by Kzin scientists for centuries, and were considered to be the pinnacle of Kzin Naval technology. They were also larger than almost any other ship in use by the Kzin. Chuut-Riit himself used one as his flagship during his time overseeing the construction and training of the Third Invasion fleet.[1]
