Description
A pilot, navigator, and two gunners operate a fast, shielded hull with independent hyperdrive capability. Two quad laser turrets cover approaching fighters while paired concussion-missile launchers attack hardened targets. The passenger compartment carries a small inspection or assault party, and the cargo hold supports month-long patrols beyond immediate fleet support.
