Filling the role as the Commonwealth’s strike craft, the Tyrant is a deadly bomber capable of dealing horrific damage to its targets. Heavily armed, armored, and shielded, a squadron of these ships can bring a battleship to its knees.
The Tyrant’s main weapons are its 14 Punisher torpedoes, specifically designed to blow massive holes in enemy starship hulls, and knock them out by spacing their crews. For dogfighting, the Tyrant packs a pair of semi-automatic 40 mm railcannons, capable of destroying most lighter fighter-scale ships in a single direct hit. While they are sheathed in heavy armor plating and have powerful repulsor shields, their speed leaves something to be desired, only capable of reaching 150 G’s. They handle poorly, and therefore make easy targets for defensive weapons, though their durability gives them a decent chance to survive.
Tyrants are infamous for their deadly payloads and rugged survivability, and a squadron of these usually spells doom for an enemy ship.
