Description: The Cara class gunship was designed to fill a niche on the open market that had not yet been filled. Designed after the Omega Protectorate Gunship the Peregrine, the Cara was created as a fast attack gunship, more suited for hit and run strikes and fast attacks than sustain combat. The Cara in truth was designed with quick attack operations in mind, going in, unloading its payload, and then getting out and rearming at base or on its carrier before returning back to attack again.
With its Composite Beam laser and twin Concussion Missile Launchers the Cara Class is more than capable of taking on infantry regiments, as well as medium and light armored missiles, although the former provides a bit more trouble.
