Overview

The Eradicator is a Low Tech Fast Cruiser capable of quickly closing with and destroying targets with rapid, ballistic fire and missiles. The base variant is equipped with an Accelerated Ammo Feeder, making it more specialized towards shooting, while the pirate variant is more able to close in with targets or disengage using its Burn Drive.
