Description

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.[1]

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.[2]


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 Lasers split between the two wings.[1]

The ship's fusion engine is powerful enough move the ship up to maximum thrust of 6. The ship has 15 tons of fuel, which can last a total of 8.15 days if used continuously. The vessel has a crew requirement of 3 pilots and a gunner; although the craft may be operated with less than a full crew.[1]
