History of the Ship: The Kuun-Lan was constructed as one of two. Kiith Somtaaw was largely destroyed during the burning of Kharak. While the second of her kind, the Kuun-Lans crew was made up of the left-overs from the crew selected for her sister ship. She gained however because the flaws and mistakes made on the Faal-Corum were fixed and resolved with the Kuun-Lan.
In the chaotic days after the Hiigarans regained their homeworld, the Kuun-Lan accidentally awoken a great enemy, known as the Beast. In the ensuing Galaxy spawning conflict the Kuun-Lan worked its way up from simple mining vessel, to a mighty warship. Uniting Hiigarans and the Taiidan Republic, when she returned to Hiigara after defeating the Beast she was respected and honoured the the other Kiith. Repaired and retrofit, when the ascended being known as Daniel Jackson approached the Daiamid to use the Kuun-Lan in another universe to fight a nanite menace similar to the Beast they voted in favour of its deployment. With a few strings attached.

Unique Technology:
- Construction Bays - Homeworld ships can use rays to break down raw materials to be taken back to a processing ship, which can then be converted into new vessels.
- Siege Cannon - A unique and powerful weapon, when fired the shell gets remotely detonated and creates a powerful explosion/shock wave that destroys everything within its radius short of an equally sized or larger vessel.
