Despite its main purpose of fighter clearing, larger craft are advised not to take this model lightly. The heavy gauss turrets can do a surprising amount of damage, and the forward facing gauss cannon, while containing a limited number of shots, and a slow reload process, fires a very large, very heavy shell. It has become a slogan for Chancellor captains 'Just.... don't miss.' It carries 2-3 wings of fighters for extra coverage, Being a Draken Shores design ship the compliment is likely (but not always) Thoron models, which have a surprising range and field staying time, so it isn't unfathomable for the pirates to bring some unexpected company home in the form of Thoron fighters, to be followed by the Chancellor in counter attack. In large, more military engagements this model is likely to be seen clearing the way for a larger capital ship, often in pairs. Their spade-like shape gives them the appearance of literally driving a wedge into the enemies forces.

It all began when a Marine put a scope on his HMV-mounted .50 machinegun and killed an enemy combatant a mile and a half away. Image borrowed from Stasis's beautiful guns page.
