	Typically deployed to beef up system police forces and port authority security, the Brawler-class frigate is a robust design which trades mobility for impressive firepower, armor, and a destroyer-grade power generator.
–In-Game Description

The Brawler-class Gunship is a midline Frigate fielded by several factions in the Persean Sector, most notably the Persean League.

• Brawler
• Brawler (TT)
• Brawler (LP)
• Brawler (LG)

Overview

The Brawler possesses considerable frontal firepower, destroyer-grade flux dissipation and decent survivability. It's also relatively slow and has low maneuverability - while the latter is partially alleviated with Maneuvering Jets the former means other frigates can often simply run away from it. Its front-only shield and lack of turret mounts means it is vulnerable to flanking when alone or in low numbers and can easily be overwhelmed by fighters.
