Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


The Bes has excellent turret coverage considering its extremely low number of turrets and is extremely capable at intercepting inbound ordnance. Unfortunately, this ship does not require bombs to dispose of; primary weapons will more than suffice, Hornet-barrage techniques approach overkill.


Arguably a worse freighter than the Ma'at as it has 1 less turret and the same hull strength. Never seen in the campaign proper, but even in fanmade campaigns it's a target that requires a lot of attention - far more than a Satis, certainly.
