Description: The Hell Cat as designed to damage capital ships, it does this by hitting them with Ion missiles first. This disrupts the defector shields, and allowing the photon bomb, and missiles to do more damage. Though tanks to this payloads it is less maneuverable than other small ships, and as such vulnerable to fast moving interceptors. So it does need escorting to it's target, to protect them form fast moving ships. As other Independent Military Development interceptor relys on a proximity torpedo, it was also protected for indirect fire from ion radiation. Though the circuits could withstand a direct hit, they could be with in area of blast of the one of though weapons.
