Description: The Brakiri once experimented in superheavy fighter technology. Having created a smaller ship designed solely to fill a much needed hole in the Brakiri fleet, that of the fast attack destroyer, the Riva uses a touch of advanced weaponry to give it the necessary offensive punch it needs to break through an enemy’s lines and pick on softer targets often deployed in the rear of a normal fleet. A single Riva may not be able to break a defensive position, but they are commonly deployed in squadrons of three and backed up by a number of long-ranged support ships to draw fire away from their attack runs.
Using its bow-mounted grav cannons on the approach and its aft-mounted gravitic bolts as they pass by, the Riva can cause significant damage to a lightly armored vessel and hopefully be agile enough to avoid suffering too greatly at the hands of nearby targets. Too small to be fitted with adequate shielding, the Brakiri often use ‘expendable’ crew on the cruiser just in case the investment turns out to be a bad one.
