The JM-5000 is a freighter designed as a starfighter. With military grade shields and hull the ship can withstand a good deal of punishment, and with 5 heavy lasers and 2 proton torpedo launchers, it can deal punishment as well. The ship is an ideal anti-fighter platform and can cut through squadrons of fighters much easier than other ships of its size. Its speed and maneverability also enables it to keep up with other fighters, and thus last longer. Its heavy armament also makes it an ideal infiltrator and mercenary ship. Its speed enables it to get in and out quickly, and if it runs into trouble, the shields, hull, and weaponry enable it to fend off attack long enough to escape, or even to destroy those foolish enough to engage it.

Suggested Role: Escort, Defense, Mercenary, Infiltration, Anti-Fighter Platform
