==Description==
 
==Description==
In [[3094]], the [[Raven Alliance]] introduced the [[NL-45 Gunboat]], the first [[small craft]] purpose-built for missile defense and interdiction. The NL-45 was designed to do for [[Pocket WarShip]]s what the [[Star League Defense Force]] had used [[squadron]]s of [[aerospace fighter]]s to do for their [[WarShip]]s - screen against enemy craft and missiles.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp50+"/>

The '''''Würger''''' was developed by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] as the next evolutionary step above the NL-45, continuing to respond to the changes in black water tactics since the [[Jihad]]. One of the key factors that made the ''Würger'' so successful was the Progeny II tactical computer, constructed by [[Lockheed/CBM]] and the very heart of the ''Würger''. The Progeny II computer controls all of the offensive and defensive electronics built into the ''Würger'', including the [[Beagle Active Probe]] and [[Guardian ECM Suite]] as well as the engine control systems and the cooling system. The Progeny II monitors the sensors scattered throughout the ''Würger'', gathering hundreds of readings per second and using those readings to make adjustments that synergise each system together, maximizing the capabilities of each.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp50+"/>

The Würger mounts a trio of anti-missile systems in the nose, with another trio of AMS systems in the aft right and aft left locations, all fed from a nine-ton ammunition supply. For offensive firepower the Würger mounts four ER Medium Lasers in the front left and right arcs as well as another bank of four ER Medium Lasers in the Würger's aft.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp50+"/>
