Description
Killer (top) and Hooligan (bottom) Class Limited Offensive Units. Regard as elevation views; all OUs appear to be approximately cylindrically symmetric around their long axes.

The Killer Class is based on the brief description of the Attitude Adjuster in Excession (chapter 6), as long, sleek, 'double-ended', and reminiscent of the axle and hubs of a ship's windlass. I could probably cleave a bit more closely to that. I also wanted it to look like it came from the same design school as the Hooligan. In Consider Phlebas (chapter 9), the Class (originally an ROU) is described as 200m long (or is that just the engine?).

The Hooligan Class LOU is based on a short but specific description of the Me, I'm Counting in Surface Detail (chapter 9) as looking like a long bolt, with various nuts and washers screwed onto it.
