Manufacturer: Silk Holdings (Production) Firemane (Design)
Model: Silaqui Class [Gunship Variant]
Affiliation: Kaeshana Confederation, Firemane Company and Clients

Production: Mass
Material: Durasteel and Titanium Alloy(Hull), Quadanium (Frame, Engine Block), Glasteel (Viewports)
Description: Named in honor of the late Eldorai Star Queen Silaqui, sister of current Queen Anya who was tragically slain during the recent period of civil war, the Silaqui gunship aims to be a vessel worthy of bearing this honor. Constructed with a thick hull and strong shields, the Silaqui class does not fail to deliver in its primary roles. Performing the tasks of being a heavy gunship the Silaqui class can tackle smaller starfighters with confidence and is excellent for escort roles of larger ships and troop transports. Both variants bear thick armor to withstand AA fire more effectively, though they are meant to work in conjunction as the Gunship model utilizes its heavier armament to clear LZ's for its Dropship variant as it deposits troops on the battlefield.

Okay, all this seemed rather standard (even with a high gunner count) and I was about to stamp it when I saw that this carried a pair of recon vessels in he description. That's something a gunship can't do and should be removed please.

It doesn't say the gunship is, it specifically mentions the dropship variant since its of the same class. The gunship has no recon vessels and it lists none in its features section.

If you'd like I can remove that sentence if you think its too confusing, but I tried to mention specifically which variant has what specifications when mentioned in the description of its class. Like I said though I can change it if needed.

Also I can easily change the gunner count. I wasn't too certain how many one would need.

Probably 4 gunners and one bombardier, the pilot can easily handle the fixed weapons and can coordinate his fire of the missiles/fixed lasers with his flight. And please do remove that mention of carrying vehicles, it isn't explicitly clear that you're talking about a different ship and sounds like this may be carrying additional vehicles.
