Complement:

Description: The best-armed commercial freighter in the Centauri Republic, the Callos was named unsurprisingly after the House Callo – which controls much of the mercantile assets of the Republic. It is similar in look to many of the Republic’s military vessels like the Vorchan or Demos, designed to hopefully blend in with escort ships as it moves through hostile zones. If the enemy is not aware that it could be loaded with sensitive supplies or resources needed on the war front, it has a much higher chance of slipping through unmolested.

If it does get targeted by enemy craft or raiders, the Callos has more than enough punch to fight back properly. Using impressive guardian arrays and twin arrays to thwart enemy fighters or ships looking to board the freighter, the addition of turreted firing solutions can confuse and foil anyone trying to abuse the well-known aft deficiencies of the Vorchan-family of vessels. The Callos has been known to specifically fly and fight as if it were a Vorchan, luring fighters or boarding shuttles into its rear arc – then opening up and turning them to scrap in an instant!
