Ship Profile: YE-4 Assault Gunship
Used as a cruiser by the Black Sword Fleet, the Imperial gunship is brought in for situations that call for aggressive firepower. They are the principle ship or 'destroyers' among Fleet Task Groups. Although this ship might look similar the Lambda-class shuttle at first glance, don't let appearances deceive you. The Galactic Empire uses the Imperial gunship in situations that call for aggressive firepower. Two forward mounted guns, three forward mounted turrets, in addition to the two turrets on the top and one at the rear of the gunship, pack quite the punch. This combat-ready vessel can seek out and destroy any unsuspecting Rebels in its path.
Characteristics
Two vertical wings protruded from the top and bottom of the ship's rear. It was armed with six turret weapons that could effortlessly destroy enemy starfighters. Two of its weapons were forward-firing,one nose mounted turret ,two were able to fire in a 180 degree arc above the ship, while the last was mounted in the back and could attack pursuing craft. The ship's design seemed to be based on Sienar Fleet Systems' Sentinel-class landing craft.
The ship now holds 150 items for decoration, but will be able to use collections and veteran rewards to increase that limit.
Star Wars Lore
Ye-4 gunships were heavily armed gunships employed by the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.
