Description:
The Arrow Class cruiser is considered the "elegant" ship of the fleet, contrasting with the hulkish hull of the Bulwark II and the monolithic profile of the Hyperion. While the frigate looks delicate, those thin towers jutting out of the hull are difficult to precisely target. The relatively small size of the Arrow makes it more maneuverable than larger craft as well. The Arrow mainly fulfills one purpose: an effective defense versus fighter craft, and to this end the Arrow is formidably armed with a number of quad laser cannon turrets (ooc I know the pic doesn't show exactly 40 turrets and none of them are quad, but it's because of the limitations of the software I used. DOGA L3=teh roxxorz). The small size, decent maneuverability and fleet niche makes the Arrow the best "training" ship for novice commanders, and in experienced hands the Arrow becomes quite deadly.
