The Taipan is one of the smaller types of Gurista vessels. While the design is based on a pre-existing Caldari ship type - the Guristas delight in stealing anything they can from their hated enemies - its internal workings have been heavily modified. Not content to rely on the Caldari's focus on missile combat, the Guristas have added the drone power of the Gallente.
