Patrol Gun Boat

A small boat made by the Pertamian Heavy Industries for the Republic of Pertam in cooperation of Ferrum Industries of the CFR.

The Space Barracuda was a result of a demand by the Pertamian Defense ministry for a fast boat capable of orbital patrols for long periods of time, it had to do scouting and anti-piracy operations, as well as cargo hauling.

The A variant was mainly used to patrol the orbit around Pertam and patrol the asteroid bases, warning them from any danger.

The B Variant was used mainly against enemy space fighters and bombers, and to help provide CIWS for the Large Ship Fleet.

The C Variant, was meant in theory to snipe enemy large ships, mainly trying to score hits on the bridge or antennas or such, maybe do a lucky hit on the thrusters before turning and running away, or it can be used to support the large ship fleet in battle.

And all variants can be used as Small Cargo Haulers between Space Stations, with their 8 Medium Cargo Containers.

The boats were accepted to Pertamian Service, but the CFR rejected them for being cramped, and for being mechanically complex and for having light armor only.

However many factions bought the boats as well as the manufacturing rights, and some made their way to some Space Pirates who used them to attack un-escorted freighters, the Pirates however had their own variants.
