Manufacturer's Summary

---

With an influx of Capital Class vessels, the men and women of action in the Border Worlds and Edge Worlds required a ship that could hold its own in the dangerous environment. Boasting more power and armor than the Series Z, and the additional fire power of an extra torpedo slot, the Cutlass has become the bane of bounty hunters and criminals alike.

Designed more for hit and run raids against convoys or running skirmishes with capital ships than for head on assaults against fleets, the Cutlass possesses less armor than the Falcata, but boasts greater agility and thus, supposedly, equal or greater survivability for its pilot.

Sarah's Summary

---

Pretty much the second best bomber* available in Sirius today, the Cutlass is serious business. Based on the ubiquitous Border Worlds line, it's easier to keep running then almost anything it'll be lobbing torpedoes at and, though the power core is showing its age a bit, it's reliable enough to keep going long after newer tech (I'm looking at you, Broadsword) finishes seeping into the melted remnants of its heatsinks. Add to that the decent forward firepower, and you've got a ship beautifully suited to hit and run (hey, the manufacturer was right for once. I know, I was surprised too). The Bundschuh has been using the Border Worlds line for longer then I can remember, and the Cutlass is an outstanding embodiment of the reason why.

* The best is the Barghest. Just in case you were wondering. Seriously, look at that firepower.
