Barracan class heavy fighter

BARRACAN CLASS HEAVY FIGHTER

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Barracan class of heavy fighter can occasionly still be found within the former territories of the Imperium and client states. Built to TL12 standards the fighter had reasonable endurance but was considered a little weak in the armament area. Its principal weapon, a 50Mj laser lance was adequate against lightly armoured opponents but could not penetrate the armour on many other fighter types in service.

Barracan squadrons were sometimes carried on board imperial battleships and older fleet carriers, and they were able to use the standard 50dt capacity launch tubes.
