| Cheap multi-role ship. |
It’s a heavy ship with poor thruster response that drifts around like a greased pig on an icy floor. It’s not fun to fly unless you’re into that sort of flight response. |
| 4 mediums and 1 large hardpoint is not a bad assortment of guns. Good for dumbfire bombardment of surface installations. | It’s probably the least useful rank-locked ship, in this case Federal rank. All other ships that require rank are better and/or more useful pound for pound. |
| Can pack an obscene amount of hull integrity. | |
