Gulf-class Light Cruiser

Gulf-Class Destroyer

Over view
A high-tech Frigate that appeared out of Earth's Spaceworks only just in time for the First Battle of Earth. The ship, as well as being extremely agile compared to normal Frigates, also packs an astoundingly powerful loadout, with a Heavy MAC Cannon, 2 Heavy Mini-MAC Guns, and 14 Mini-MACs. It also has 2 110mm Anti-ship Gatling guns. In fact, this could almost be called a Light Cruiser, but it lacks the Armor, Slipspace range, and damage-control capacity to be called a Cruiser. Another downside to this craft is that, for a Frigate (or a light Cruiser) it is astoundingly heavy, due to the incredibly huge Quadruple-Core Fusion Rector needed to power the MAC guns. This effectively means the Frigate, once it enters the atmosphere, will need to red--line the reactors to escape the gravity well. Also, the huge weight and size of engine severely cuts back on Missile storage and Crew accomodations. It also cuts back on endurence. But, all in all, it is a highly awsome ship.
