Dawnbreaker - Class Striker

Small, extremely fast starships designed and used by the Hyperion Federation. The Dawnbreaker - Class has weak armour and shields and few High Energy Turret Hardpoints, but weapons placed on those hardpoints get a massively increased fire rate as the very high capacity capacitors used overclock the weapons for a short time. After fully discharging, the weapon returns to normal power and will try to recharge the capacitor for another strike. The doctrine is to provide the ship with as much instantaneous firepower as possible. After using this firepower, it must recharge. To make use of this, the ship is very fast and is intended to be used primarily in high speed flybys where a battle takes place over seconds or minutes. This often happens in low orbits, especially when the 2 craft are orbiting in opposite directions.
The Dawnbreaker - class was developed after a need for a starship that can destroy another (or perhaps more than one) in fast low orbits and then slingshot back to high orbit and return to base only to strike again.
