The Quilrella Szur Gunship is a light attack craft designed to supplement the
firepower of the Zentraedi Fleets. Equipped with a high-powered, short range beam beam weapon, the
small ship has the firepower of a anti-ship cannon on a lighter and more manoeuvrable frame. A small
secondary turret provides some level of anti-fighter protection, though a blind spot in the port-aft
quadrant enables enemy fighters to attack it with impunity. As a consequence, the Gunships must often
be escorted by other craft, usually Aerospace fighters, as it makes its attack runs. The Gunship is
a relatively recent addition to the Zentraedi Army, and as a consequence no warships are designed
to mount them as standard. However, any ship can replace Dropships or Theatre Scouts with the
Quirella Szur. The most common configuration is Salan Heavy Cruisers equipped with Aerospace fighters
and Gunships. Very few Gunships were seen in Sol space, as their role was contrary to the objective of
capturing the SDF-1.
