Made to be a do the job of it's larger brethren, the Tormentor is basically a gunship that packs the firepower of a small frigate. armed with no less than than four Heavy laser cannon, two Ion cannon, two nose mounted rail driver and one E-SAGE emplacement, a pack of these gunship can make short work on any medium weight ships that the Empire or RCA can throw at it, while it's armor can withstand multiple heavy blows. This massive firepower and armor however, comes at the cost of slow speed and maneuverability, which makes them a prey to starfighters. The Consortium tired to counter this by adding a enlarged version of the Self-Aware Gun Emplacement called E-SAGE. This resulted a ship that is not only lethal to face, but deadly to hunt down as well.
