Tornado (Minmatar Republic Ship)
The Tornado is a Combat ship from the Minmatar Republic faction. It is designed for combat operations and features specialized subsystems.
Description
In YC 113 Republic Security Services learned the Amarr Empire was building a new battle cruiser capable of supporting battleship-class weapons. Determined to not lose their technological edge to their adversaries, Republic Fleet commissioned Boundless Creation to construct a gunboat to match. What they designed was the Tornado. Developed in record time and total secrecy, the Tornado is a testament to Minmatar engineering. Modeled loosely off of flying- wing designs of ancient planetary bombers, the Tornado supports multiple large projectile turrets, dealing massive damage while maintaining a small signature radius.

Tactical Notes:
Very Strong Fit that can defeat mostly everything. Karth 3B Is dependant on HeadOn Activation, 56% is very decent. Can be buffed more with Response Core Agent. Weakness : Weak to 3A Karth Tornados, or MegaWhale Response Core Agent that buffs with QuickResponse. Shielded builds + control (Reactor Failure can be nasty as well) Tactical Agent can be swapped for more dmg but it covers less fits.
