In an effort to better enforce the will of the Emperor, the Imperial Navy and Kishiro Technologies developed this ship. With her small hull profile this gunboat is agile and highly maneuverable compared to other Gunboats. In large numbers they are particularly devastating.
Handling
- This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
Review (4.88)
A beautiful, sleek and agile ship. But making this wonderful Treasure Planet Solar Surfer work for you will depend vastly on what you're trying to accomplish, ever since it lost two turrets, and the missile launchers have become Class 5's.

Review (4.86)
This ship is not only for good looking it is also a very good warship! If you are a member of the KNF or the KE you should buy this ship because it can kill every snubs and other gunboats/gunships. The first slot is a "Gunboat Forward Gun Slot" the slots 2-6 are normal gunboat slots, but the 6th can only firing backwards. For fighting other Gunboats you should have a razor and a pulse gun at the slots 2 and 3. On the slots 4 and 5 you should use Kusari Defense Turrets. Use these for hunting down snubs. At the last slot you can take what you want, but I prefer the Gunboat Missiles here. The Missiles can kill the shields of fighters and bombers behind you. If you must leave a battle they can help you. All in all is this ship an all-rounder gunboat which you can use for a lot of things.
