[SIZE=9pt]STRENGTHS: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Meteor sports more armaments and defensive measures than many vessels in its class.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]With its field disruptor, it can effectively bypass most forms of shielding with ease.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]With engine boosters engaged, the Meteor can move much faster than its baseline speed, ideal for evasion and quickly rushing targets. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]With HIMS and a class 0.5 military hyperdrive, the Meteor can quickly traverse long distances and bypass gravity traps like Empion mines. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Meteor is slower and less maneuverable than many other vessels in its class. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]While using its field disruptor, the Meteor must momentarily drop its forward shields. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The use of its engine boosters comes at the cost of a significant decrease of maneuverability. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]No dedicated starfighter complement.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Meteor-class assault frigate is designed to be a small but tough troopship meant to rapidly deploy shock troopers for planetary assaults and boarding actions, then stick around to provide fire support in conjunction with attack craft like Basilisk and [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Fang[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] starfighters. It can best be thought of as a successor to the venerable [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Shaadlar troopships[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] which performed a similar mission profile. With its robust electronic warfare suite, countermeasures, and field disruptors, the relatively small vessel can blow past enemy blockades and planetary shields, or rush straight for targeted vessels and installations for capture or destruction.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Its creation was commissioned by Trisha Priest of the Mandalorian Congressional Republic (MCR), looking to provide the fledgling organization with a new series of small but advanced ships optimized for blitz tactics against much larger fleets as they lacked the resources of the now defunct United Clans. The Meteor in particular was made with hijacking in mind, as a means to bolster the MCR armada with captured warships, emulating the tactics of the original Rebel Alliance. [/SIZE]
