Talk:Battle Rider (book)
Notes (2019)
I've received two replies so far on what ship that is (the larger of the two) on the cover. One confident reply was Gallant class battle rider and one uncertain reply that it was a Nolikian class Battle Rider. Nolikian is listed on the battle rider page, but Gallant was not. There is a Gallant class light cruiser though.

David, We have citations for the Nolikian class Battle Rider.
- Where can we learn more about the Gallant class Battle Rider?
- The Gallant light cruiser at the wiki is a fan creation.

Just got an email from David Jacques-Watson confirming that it's a Gallant class battle rider. He even sent a sample scan of the counters used in the game and the profile matches what's on the cover. Plus the Triumph class battle tender. The specs are TNE but not in a format that I understand. I think they're simplified for players using Battle Rider as a tabletop game.
Here's what I recognize: TL-15 (both ships) Triumph performance is jump-3 and 2G and can carry four battle riders. Gallant performance is 6G.
If it will help, I can email you the scan of the counter that David sent me.
