In terms of firepower, the Taratane is underpowered for a frigate. The inclusion of two fighters and four point-defense guns make it an effective buffer against enemy fighters in a large-scale battle, however the ship's main functions are reconnaissance and mobile operations. Fast and versatile, the Taratane is often sent alone into enemy territory to carry out specialised missions. |
