Basilisk Destroyer
The Basilisk Destroyer is a seafaring naval vessel employed by The Tyrralorean Defense Initiative mainly as either a lone patrol craft or as an escort in a larger fleet. Regardless of where or how it is used, the Basilisk is known as a small, highly maneuverable, and highly deadly craft, with groups of them being capable of finishing off even the largest battleships once they were sufficiently crippled. Even in lone scenarios, a single Basilisk can still be a threat to large opponents thanks to is evasive capacity. However, the vessel's powerful armament and quick speed and maneuverability comes at a cost of its energy shield strength being below par, as the craft cannot take many hits from large caliber guns or cannons.
