Octopus

Briefing

With the freedom to do anything with the warships that defected or got stolen, without red tape or an admiral dictating production, some rather unique changes were made to some of these frigates. In the case of this Gorshkov variant, another exchange of Sol to Genari weaponry was made; this time switching the weapon mounts in all four arcs to Genari LB-1B light lasers and doubling them, thus having eight beam weapons firing from all arcs. Even though these lasers are very rudimentary and weak, the sheer volume of them firing can be very powerful in itself if handled by a skilled weapons officer. As its name suggests above, this ship is painted with all sorts of tentacles in green and blue on its flat hull.
