Maneuverability: Fairly maneuverable for a gunship, being able to keep pace with lower end dedicated starfighters. However, fast maneuvers are incredibly difficult due to the forces given and the size of the ship, capping its maneuverability.
Description: The Guardian-Class, originally designed and built as the Midello-Class after after one of the Fathers, began as a heavy gunship for the Skyline Cartel. Built for their elite pilots as a superiority fighter and bomber, the Midello-Class saw action in several large campaigns against Outer Rim worlds and became known as deadly and versatile craft. While they weren't as fast as similar fighters, the overhead turret gave the operator significantly more options in combat, such as leading targets to the front of the ship, where the powerful forward lasers would make quick work of them.
During the Separation Movement, the manufacturer of the ships, Bohmu Engineering, fell on the side of the Loyalist. While the Seperatist where robbed of their supply of new Midellos, engineers defecting from the Cartel maintained existing units, which where relegated to major engagements and Hit-and-Fade strikes. While this proved effective, supplies of the ship continued to diminish until only a half dozen squadrons remained in the Rebel's arsenal. These remaining few where used in the last engagements of the Separation; The Battle of Task-Group-Wampa, and the Attack on Bohmu Engineering. Kate "Slingshot" Shoana lead a squadron of these during both engagements.
After the conflict, the remaining Midellos where taken by the Skyline Dragons. Once the Accord was formed, the newly created Holy Design Collective began studying and improving on the design.
The final upgraded version became known as the Guardian-Class, and existing Midellos where modified to this new and improved state. Now sporting both top and bottom turrets as well as improved maneuverability, the Guardian became even more of a heavy hitter. Although, armor had to be reduced from the former heavy alloy, and having the pilot control both turrets requires not only special training, but a high degree of skill to use effectively.
None of the engineers can determine why, but the cockpit smells consistently of mint.
