Ballista Missile Boats are the most powerful fighters in the Laro Navy. They carry enough ordinance to destroy lighter capital ships and have powerful engines to propel them at speeds on par or exceeding most interceptors. The design philosophy behind the Ballista was to create a heavy bomber that would go against the norm. Instead of the slow and well-armored bombers that are commonplace across the galaxy, Laro wanted a bomber that could get in and out before the enemy knew what hit them and do appreciable damage at the same time.
