nicknamed "the faggot", a slang for cigar, due to their tubular shape these machines are cheap to make when compared to other vessels of similar firepower.

Being in the crew of one of these is hell, it's cramped, the engines resonate across the entirety of the craft, the top gunner has to withstand the loud noice of the top engine and the main gun. all crewmembers are required to wear heavy ear protection and communicate via throat microphones. ordenance for the top gun is dispenced from below and loaded manually.

the wings on the back rotate to apply torque and help stabilize the main cannon. they also aid by working as airbrakes whenever the ship needs to turn or slow down.

almost all of the armour is loaded on the front, this model takes full advantage of it's smooth shape and small size when seen from the front to increase it's possibilities of survival. the boarding/loading door, which is considered a weakspot is located on the back, in the middle of the three engines.

I think I made the linework too exagerated, I dunno. do you guys prefer this style or the one I made the inspiration in?
