| The Basilisk appears to be the equivelant of the Shivan Heavy Assault Fighter. Though the fighter is lacking in manoeuvrability and is quite easily hit by allied fighters, it can take tremendous punishment with its strong shielding. The Basilisk mounts fairly heavy armament, along with two large secondary missile banks. The Basilisk is typically used by the Shivans against our supply convoys and depots, but it has also been used defensively against allied bomber wings. |
