STRENGTHS
- Simply a Mining Ship!: It looks like an ordinary mining corvette which can make it rather dangerous to anyone not looking to closely.
- Unload the Missiles!: It can fire a blistering amount of missiles in a short period of time, making it a dangerous fast strike corvette.
- Try and Catch This!: If it needs to chase a target, it can possibly and in quick time, catch up to it. If it needs to run away, it can also do so quite well.
- Exposed Bridge: It sticks out like a sore thumb, best not let a starfighter or a missile hit it.
- Fuel Storage Exposed: It is underneath all the missiles. A good hit will knock it out of commission and send it to oblivion.
- Poking Stick: It only has a single turbolaser and twelve point defense lasers. In all intents and purposes. if it runs out of missiles, it might as well have a fly swatter with one big hole in it.
The first in a new line of products but was made on a much lesser scale was the Y-9 Q-Ship. It was designed for the sole purpose of infiltrating asteroid fields and causing massive chain reactions with the use of missiles to disrupt enemy mining operations. While not made extensively and only a few exist, they are quite dangerous and considered extremely fast.
