==Description==
Designed by Vandenberg Mechanized Industries at the fall of the [[Star League]], the '''''Tigress''''' was initially designed to serve as a [[DropShip]] and [[WarShip]] escort.  However, due to changing priorities for the defense of the [[Taurian Concordat]], it was reassigned as a system patrol craft.<ref name=HBMPSp201/>

Designed by Vandenburg Mechanized Industries at fall of the [[Star League]], the ''Tigress'' was designed to initially serve as DropShip & WarShip escort.  However, due to change priorities for the defense of [[Taurian Concordat]], it was re-aligned as a system patrol craft.
  
The craft is principally part of the defense networks of the [[Hyades Cluster]]. ''Tigress'' gunships were noted in their suicidal deployment in a nuclear strike that crippled [[New Syrtis Shipyards]] during the [[3076]] raid of [[New Syrtis]].<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 44: "House Davion"</ref>

==Armaments & Capacities==
The gunship was given a [[particle projection cannon]] and a fifteen-tube long range missile rack mounted in the nose to snipe at long range targets. The launcher has 32 salvos of missiles, keeping the ship well supplied with ammunition on its week-long patrols.  For close-in combat, the ship has an additional four [[medium laser]]s split between the two wings.<ref name=HBMPSp201/>
