[top]General Information


The Skate is an upgrade of the Boron Barracuda, commonly used by Boron military forces only.

[top]Background


The Skate was part of the Boron rearmament after the war with the Split, during which it became clear that the old Barracuda was obsolete. As the military was given more funds to rebuild the navy, Boron designers cooperated with their Argon colleagues and came up with a new M3+.

[top]Expert's review


The Skate is quick, well-armed, well-shielded and has enough firepower to take on any ship of its class.
