This is a missile barrage ship well under 1000 mass that launches no less than 56 missiles in a single salvo, and 'none' of them are simply decoys. 48 of them are not particularly heavy hitting, doing around 4000 damage each. The other eight however will punch very large holes. This ship's DPS is 40K, minus whatever your point defense can take out. It alpha strikes every 18 seconds for 720,000 damage.
While it sports 13 anti-missile point defense turrets, it is not particularly well shielded, having only 27K shield. It relies on the old standby that the best defense is a good offense.
Oh, and it has a functional and active jump inhibitor system. And that light in the cockpit, that's a Cylon 'eye'. Yes, it tracks.
