Ranger-class Gunship

Following the Duro Treaty, the Alliance Defense Fleet began to focus its efforts on eradicating pirate and smuggler threats in the Outer Rim Territories. As such, the Fleet required a vessel capable of engaging small to mid-sized starships while matching the speed of outlaw vessels.

Design

The Ranger-class was designed to fill that role specifically, and proved effective with its powerful turbolaser cannons and "hi-track" quad laser batteries. This heavy armament stands the ship in an excellent position as a multi role support craft, either as starfighter defence, convoy escort or Capital ship support.
