What CIG says RSI Ship Matrix

flight-ready Gunship Combat Large

Built for deep-space patrol, the TAC takes the robust Starlancer chassis and outfits it for serious offense and defense. Heavy weaponry, a dedicated snub hangar, medbeds, and eight military-spec jump seats mean you’re ready for anything.
