Maneuverability Rating: 6

Strengths:
[+] The Big Bang: Armed with four baradium missile launchers the Charger was built to make things bleed and in particular, large capital ships.
[+] Es-Cap-E: Once she’s delivered her payload the Charger’s job is to get the feth out of dodge and back to base, or back under the protection of her larger sisters. Her speed allows her to weave in and out of the chaos fleet back into safety.
Weaknesses:
[-] Lightweight: Built to do one job and one job only, the Charger has been equipped with minimal shielding, as her speed is her defense. The ability to outrun and outmaneuver a lot of the other vessels in the galaxy.
[-] Snap, Crackle, Pop: Given her size and limited defensive capabilities the Charger is quite vulnerable to being shot down, or hit in one shot. One wrong move, or an error in her maneuvering causes the already fragile Charger to meet her end rather quickly.
[-] The Big Boom: With four baradium missile launchers, one can imagine that the Charger has quite the amount of firepower stored within her. One shot to her storage units and the Charger is gone. Additionally, she can only fire so many missiles before she has to return to base or to an ammunition ship to be reloaded and rearmed.
[-] One Job: She’s got one job to do and that is to get as close as possible to capital ships, deliver her missiles and go. Outside of this the Charger can do little else in battle and is left only with her flak cannons to defend herself against harm.
Description: When Fiolette Yvarro purchased Primo Victorian from Ms. McBose, she set out to create an Imperial equivalent of the Fulminatus. Understandably this meant that the Charger would be in minor production given that her job was to simply go in and rip apart capital ships and then retreat very quickly. Fio also wanted to give the Charger something that the Fulminatus did not have. A purpose outside of battle, a job that would be simple and if need be the Charger could defend herself while calling for help.
This secondary purpose would be to collect data from various listening posts and drop sites, analyze this data and get it back to FOSB command as soon as possible. This meant that the Charger’s production would be held in secret and built with covert and intelligence operations in mind and not just the charging blow that her predecessor was designed to be.
Development Thread: If Necessary
Intent: To provide the First Imperial Navy with an escort corvette that acts as a fast, hard hitting unit - in lieu of capital guns and a proper defense. Writer’s intent was to design something that could act more or less like World War II destroyer-escorts, in giving capital ships a devastating blow while still being able to provide some form of Anti-Air protection. Like the Fulminatus, she’s designed to run in and deliver a massive blow and then run out again.
