−	Bolson [[Shipyards]] was one of the Lyran Commonwealth's largest JumpShip manufacturers before the [[First Succession War]]. Starting about [[2524]], the yards produced the ''[[Sylvester (DropShip class)|"Baby"-Sylvester]]''. Known for their unspecified JumpShips sold to the [[LCAF]] and numerous civilian offerings, their only WarShip design, the ''Mako'', was a design that eschewed the traditional [[LCAF]] "bigger is better" mentality for a lighter, swift vessel that could serve as a picket ship, border patrol unit, and escort for larger ships. During the Star League era, Bolson produced ''Mako''s for the LCAF and five for the [[Rim Worlds Republic]], while the [[SLDF]] used a handful as a courier vessel.<ref name=TRO3057Rp192/>	+	Bolson [[Shipyards]] was one of the Lyran Commonwealth's largest JumpShip manufacturers before the [[First Succession War]].
