贝斯特拉号诞生于一个开发项目，项目成员包括两位性情古怪且经常起冲突的天才：核心局面公司导弹系统开发主管塔匹奥·伊斯特瓦里，以及核心局面公司自主武器首席设计师希尔达拉·罗斯塔维克。该项目旨在将尽可能多的导弹火力装入贝斯特拉重型突击巡洋舰及其对应的格里突击护卫舰，同时还支持复杂的控制程序和带宽，以操控配备了大规模升级系统的停滞缠绕无人机。尽管加达里导弹专家伊斯特瓦里和米玛塔尔无人机设计师罗斯塔维克两人的性格水火不容，但他们仍然出色地完成了贝斯特拉号的重新设计，使其从一艘基础断崖级舰船变成了一艘极其先进、极其昂贵的重型突击巡洋舰。虽然贝斯特拉号的导弹和停滞无人机在如此紧凑的布局中实现了超群的性能，但共和舰队不愿意购置一整个由贝斯特拉号和同样昂贵的格里号组成的中队。虽然共和国的精英特种部队持有少量贝斯特拉号，但在YC124年共和国成为独立竞技委员会举办的联盟锦标赛XVIII的主要赞助商后，米玛塔尔人还是将相当多的初期产品作为奖品捐赠给了该赛事。

The Bestla was originally the product of a development program that involved the eccentric and often clashing talents of Tapio Histvaari, Core Complexion's Chief of Missile Systems Development, and Hildara Rostavik, Core's Lead Designer of Autonomous Weapons. The program was an effort to cram as much missile firepower as possible into the Bestla heavy assault cruiser, and its Geri assault frigate counterpart, while also supporting the sophisticated control routines and bandwidth to operate stasis webification drones with massively uprated systems. Despite serious personality clashes between the Caldari missiles expert Histvaari and Minmatar drone designer Rostavik, the Bestla was brilliantly redesigned from its basic Rupture-hull format into an incredibly advanced, and incredibly expensive, heavy assault cruiser. While the performance of the Bestla's missiles and stasis drones was far above anything achieved in combination in such a compact format, the Republic Fleet balked at the prospect of paying for whole squadrons made up of the Bestla and the similarly expensive Geri. Although a few Bestlas are maintained by elite special tasks units of the Republic, a significant number of the initial production run were donated as prizes to the Independent Gaming Commission's Alliance Tournament XVIII by the Minmatar when the Republic became the principal sponsor of the event in YC124.
