Description

The Rogue performs as a zero-g missile boat for aerospace combat. The Rogue is well armored, but for its mass, the craft does not maneuver well and is poor in a dog-fight.

Armament & Capabilities

Slow but well armored, the Rogue generally is the first craft to launch in defensive operations. In this regard, the Rogue uses its wing-mounted Holly-8 LRM Delivery Systems to discourage predation of other launching craft. After 8 salvoes, the craft is only protect by a pair of Starflash-1A Medium Lasers, one mounted in the nose, and a (more useful) Starflash mounted in the rear.

Variants

  • RGU-133F - Though still poor at maneuvering and short on fuel, the RGU-133F replaces each LRM-15 (and ammo) with 2 SRM-6s, each with 30 salvoes. BV (2.0) = 818
  • RGU-133L - A strafing model, the RGU-133L Rogue replaces the LRM-15s and ammo with a pair of wing-mounted Large Lasers and 6 Heat Sinks. BV (2.0) = 865
  • RGU-133LP - An upgraded RGU-133L variant by the ComGuard replaced the standard heatsinks with double strength ones and upgraded the Large and Medium Lasers to Pulse versions. This was by far the most potent version. BV (2.0) = 865
  • RGU-133P - This model replaced the LRMs with 2 PPCs and 2 additional heatsinks. When firing the newly acquired PPCs the pilots would often lose control. BV (2.0) = 991
  • RGU-133Eb - A design deployed exclusively with [[SLDF Royal units|SLDF Royal commands, the RGU-133Eb Rogue frees up mass by installing an XL Engine. The craft upgrades all lasers to pulse lasers, and adds Artemis IV FCS[1]. BV (2.0) = 1,054
