Featuring extremely heavy weapons and armouring the Dragoon was not an enemy to take lightly. Made to withstand a beating as well as deliver one this gunship is the workhorse capital ship of the destroyer fleet. Fairly quick for a medium class ship it could get to trouble spots quickly and take care of any opposition it may face. The only thing a commander of Dragoon had to worry about was running into something with more guns and missiles.
