Ripper

Ripper is an Alliance cargo mover in Starlancer.

Description
The Ripper is one of the newest developments of the Alliance and is proving itself worthy of its name. This ship played a vital role in the opening phase of the conflict by repatriating supplies from enemy ships and bases.

The Ripper is a real workhorse with extremely powerful engines and armor. Because it has only light weapons for protection, it is usually deployed with a fighter escort or after the action of battle.
