It is a powerful gunboat with sole purpose to protect IMG Miner ships and convoys in dangerous systems around Border Worlds. With recent Bretonia and Kusari conflict the role of this gunboat becomes even more important. There are not many of these ships, but the IMG council has dispatched them to strategic places.

Review
Viewed from the front, side or rear, this gunboat looks very thin. This trait offers significant advantage to it as a capital ship, making it almost impossible to hit from those angles if the pilot manages to increase distance from hostiles above 1k. Viewed from the top or bottom, its a fairly easy target as it has a very wide egg-like shape. The 6 turrets are placed as followed: 3 on the "top" and 3 on the "bottom". Each turret has a 360 degree angle of fire (except the front bottom turret, which fires in a 180 degree arc facing forward), but those placed on the "top" cant shoot down (and the other way around). This makes the "top & bottom" a heavy pair of weak spots as each offers only 50% of fire coverage and exposes the ship as an easy target. Nonetheless, pilots all over Sirius who have mastered covering their weaknesses have found this ship invaluable as it its well capable of staying on max shooting range of a cruiser and slowly grinding it down while receiving no damage in return. This ship can be classified as a light-gunboat, since its power-core and hull offer less combat potential than its significant maneuverability.
