It was for a PE that had been crashed down to TL8.
They started out as straight up assault shuttles. Get troops into orbit and try to get hands on anything that the meson gun doesn't destroy. After the meson gun is reactivated. Then they were quickly whacked over to SDB's while the orbital defenses were stabilized and the system was secured. After that they were retrofitted again with J1 drives to explore and defend the 2 systems they could get at. Desperate times.
