# [[Retaliator class Heavy Fighter]]  
+
=== Basic Ship Characteristics ===
−
Equipped with a bridge and a small stateroom this single crew member has room, and enough life support capacity for long patrols and/or picket duty. They have a triple missile turret, and a Model 4 computer.  They are capable of 6 G acceleration and have a 6 agility rating. Their armor is useful in dog fights and against ground fire on close air support missions, but offers little protection against critical hits and internal damage from large factor weapons. The streamlined cone structure can perform ocean refueling. These heavy fighters command and lead the small composite fighter squadrons.
