[Future Perfect] Gallardo Battlecruiser

The Brutish Gallardo Battlecruiser is the standard Regency frigate deployed into battle. Extremely heavy ordinance makes the Gallardo a force to be reckoned with; its Ultrarack Missiles and Torpedoes own most long-range assaults, while its massive pulse cannons can be devastating at shorter ranges. Indeed, the Gallardo has the capacity to blanket a battlefield in missiles and blaster fire all at once, and its AGS ensures that most of those missiles count. With a standard AI handling many ship functions, this vessel runs with a very small crew and is capable of holding several fighters and gunships in its hanger bay and on exterior mounts. Hyperspace and Gate Capable, the Gallardo is intended to maneuver into a battle, then depart. Its lack of Marines and storage facilities, even a sickbay, indicate this Battlecruiser's inability to perform long term police actions or engage in extended, unsupported campaigns. For such missions, the heavier Bison-Class Ship of the Line often is considered the better choice.
