DESCRIPTION
The GAT-50 Imperial Blastboat is a Heavy Starfighter/Gunship designed by Sularen for the Imperial Confederation as a successor to the GAT-36 Imperial Blastboat it had previously produced for the now defunct Dark Empire. Just like it's predecessor, the GAT-50 serves as a medium-sized starfighter that can serve as both a custom ship to patrol Imperial space and a convoy raiding vessel to disrupt the supply lines of hostile factions. Equipped with powerful armaments and equally powerful defenses sourced from other corporations such as the N&Z Umbrella Corporation, NAKAIOMA, Angelus Arms and Apex Technologies, the GAT-50 is more then capable of punching way above it's weight being able to challenge Corvettes and tear through entire squadrons of starfighters.

However just like the GAT-36, the GAT-50 is most effective when utilized in small groups rather then individually especially due to the weaknesses and vulnerabilities that can be exploited by enemy pilots and warships such as it's forward fixed weapons, large profile and side blind spots. Nevertheless, the GAT-50 Imperial Blastboat remains a promising heavy starfighter with the potential to serve as the ultimate tool for the Imperial Confederation to both secure it's borders and wreak havoc within the borders of the enemy.
