Squall-class Gunship

The Squall-class gunship is a fearsome little capital ship developed by the Shellbacks of Oris. Like all Shellback designs, the Squall is designed to be able to operate in space, atmosphere, or underwater. As a triphibian, the Squall has weak shields but a strong hull to resist underwater pressures.

The Squall is one of the fastest capital ships in the galaxy thanks to an innovative design built into the vessel. The Squall has a standard bank of engines located at the rear of the ship, but it also houses a second bank on the bottom that it can deploy for an extra burst of speed if needed. Otherwise it will remain retracted into the ship.

The Squall also has a surprisingly powerful bite for such a small ship. Five quad laser turrets are spaced around the ship to repel starfighters, two forward mounted double turbolaser cannons and a forward facing tractor beam can make quick work of freighters or other light capital ships, and a heavy turbolaser in the back can provide and unexpected punch to other capital ships. In addition, the Squall has six top mounted warhead launchers and two side mounted concussion missile launchers to deal with any other threats and underwater attacks.
