"Much alike the Templar and Hussar, the Dragoon class heavy fighter can trace its roots back to the venerable '€˜Bee-One'€™. The concept of a revolutionary blend of agility and firepower was one that had entertained Bretonian engineers for centuries. Sadly, the cost of producing the high-quality components required rendered mass production infeasible due to the BAF'€™s peacetime budget. After numerous industrial breakthroughs (resulting in the Templar) the cost of these components plummeted, allowing for the vessel to enter prototype production. With the advent of the Tau War, the Dragoon was accelerated to front line duties, in order to match Kusari'€™s agile fighters. Dragoons can now be spotted acting as scouts and skirmishers, actively engaging the Gallic war machine. "

"The Dragoon is the result of years of painstaking research and development in the weapons labs of Sunderland Research Station. Utilising many of the technologies that make the Templar and Hussar essential Bretonian assets, the Dragoon attempts to find a happy middle-ground between these two prestigious ships. Boasting a revolutionary combination of agility and firepower, the Dragoon has found favour among the BAF'€™s skirmishers and scouts who need to strike fast and hit harder."
