Manufacturer's Summary

---

As multiple conflicts spilled out into the Borderworlds, those who braved this untamed frontier found themselves in need of something with a larger punch then even the proven Sabre. Border Worlds' engineers decided to use the existing Series Z as a model for a larger vessel. The Montante is the result of their ingenuity, an agile Light Gunship with strong offensive capabilities.

Sarah's Summary

---

More of an escort then an assault ship, the Montante's best used as a long-range scout, if you have to use it at all. When putting a flight of Sabres through the blender didn't end up producing a serviceable gunboat, the Montante was the next logical option. She's still a fairly young design, and the internal systems seem to have a bit of trouble deciding if they're meant to be in a gunboat or a gunship. Despite that, the Montante has inherited one good beneficial trait from her older, smaller cousin. The comparatively huge allocation of the drive's power to redundant engine systems means that she'll fly through anything short of grey goo and come out smiling, making the ship ideal for scouting missions out in the Edge Worlds. Just not so much for us.
