Produced under the New Class modernization program, the Warrior-class Gunship is a deadly addition to the New Republic fleet.
These small, but powerful, warships are designed for one purpose: to smash enemy formations by destroying their main combat ships. They are armed with 10 turbolaser cannons, 8 laser cannons, and 4 concussion missile tubes. Warrior-class Gunships pack enough firepower to threaten heavy cruisers, and their rack of concussion missiles can even cripple Star Destroyers. These ships have a small crew of only 44 people, along with 36 gunners, and room for 10 additional passengers.
To perform their mission, these ships normally move ahead of the main fleet to make first contact with the enemy. Warrior-class Gunships have enough laser cannons to fend off starfighters, while their armor provides protection beyond the typical starfighter's ability to do damage.
Once a Warrior group has penetrated enemy screening lines, they target and destroy the enemy's main ships before withdrawing into hyperspace. Warrior Gunships are also used to clear corridors for surface forces to land after planetary guns have been disabled.
