Description: The Storm front class cutter was designed as a short-ranged, deep-space patrol and rescue craft capable of independent operation along major shipping routes and jump points. Despite their comparatively small size, the Storm fronts are extremely well armed, mounting both capital and starfighter scale weaponry. As they are also intended to deal with the occasional smuggler or blockade runner, the Storm fronts are all extremely fast and maneuverable.

Storm front Class cutters were built and deployed in the hundreds, and were used throughout the Colonies for custom enforcement, patrol, and rescue duties in the decade leading up to the Second Cylon War. Most operated independently, but Storm front Class cutters were also occasionally deployed in three-ship task groups in high-activity or high risk areas.

Quirks/Special Characteristics: Storm front Class cutters have a large lower cargo hold and an integral ventral airlock allowing them to mate up with other vessels in the course of their duties (though they are required to dock belly-first). The gravity in the belly lock is not stabilized concurrent to the rest of the ship, which can cause disorientation and vertigo in those unprepared for the transition.
