Octavian Dragon Jumpgate TRi Universe
The OctavianDragon is the ultimate personification of the Octavian ideal of combat: overwhelming firepower combined with the ability to absorb a great amount of pain as well. The Dragon’s primary role is command vehicle and wing-leader: it is meant to lead a wing into battle and be the focus-point of that combat. It is capable of mounting more gun-based firepower than any ship in the five systems and mounts the same shield system as a heavy cargo vessel, while also being able to carry an impressive array of missiles (including a single tactical nuclear warhead or Morningstar Missile Cluster if the pilot so chooses.) The only weakness it possesses is the fact that it neither maneuvers nor accelerates well. Therefore, unsupported it is vulnerable to an attack from more than one craft. One on one, however, there is no better ship in all of the five systems. If you pilot one of these, prepare to take some heat: these fighters tend to get targeted first. But you can be confident in the fact that you have the firepower to devastate your enemies. One should note that the railgun configuration is far less nimble than the other versions, due to the extreme weight of the Intimidator powerplant. While the railguns do provide superior range to any weapon system, pilots should take that into consideration. Except from the Jumpgate Manual Pdf Check out Jumpgate Tri for more Space craft.
