Faction: Gurista
In the time-honored tradition of pirates everywhere, Korako ‘Rabbit' Kosakami shamelessly stole the idea of the Scorpion-class battleship and put his own spin on it. The result: the fearsome Rattlesnake, flagship of any large Gurista attack force. There are, of course, also those who claim things were the other way around; that the notorious silence surrounding the Scorpion's own origins is, in fact, an indication of its having been designed by Kosakami all along.

Think Dominix but with missiles, explosions, and a shield tank, all without the Gallente tradition of ships that look like a whale's hemorrhoid. This fitting was built for Forlorn hubs. Simply warp-in at 100km, target-up, drop Wardens once your speed dips below 5m/s, use sentries on Battleships and Frigates (when they're still far away) and missiles on Cruisers/Battlecruisers. No movement is necessary as you should be tearing shit apart before most of the rats can get close enough to do any real damage. Switch the Wardens out for the Gardes when targets pass the 40km mark. The rest of the drone bay is a toss-up.
