Originally one of the Bulgarian State Railways' (BDŽ) 800 series four-cylinder compound locomotives that had been built by Henschel & Sohn in 1912 as BDŽ 806 and 811. They were given the class letters "Θβ" by the SEK and initially numbered 621 and 622 before being renumbered 521 and 522.
During World War II, they were reclaimed by the Bulgarians and renumbered BDŽ 17.72 and 17.73 at the end of the surviving 800s (which by then had become BDŽ class 17).

gollark: There doesn't *have* to be any defense against things. The universe isn't intrinsically fair.
gollark: They probably won't, because slow lingering deaths are not that useful in combat.
gollark: A mildly interesting thing they didn't mention in the list (as far as I can see from here) is whether your drive conserves velocity or not. Needing to decelerate a stupid amount if you travel far is relevant to stuff.
gollark: I wonder how long you could safely be in a star's corona, surface or core for...
gollark: Hopefully you won't miss your desired position and fall into the star or something.
