| info=The Retribution is an homage to the glory days of the Empire, informed by classical Amarrian design philosophy: if it's strong, sturdy and packs a punch, it's ready for action.  What this powerhouse lacks in speed and maneuverability it more than makes up for with its wide range of firepower possibilities and superb defensive ability.

== Summary ==

The '''Retribution''' is the Amarr laser assault frigate, sibling to the missile-hurling [[Vengeance]]. Two laser DPS bonuses and a range bonus mean that it hits very hard for a frigate-sized hull. It lacks the Vengeance's armor resistance bonus, but it can still mount a significant tank, aided by the Assault Damage Control module if an extraordinary resistance burst is necessary. With many low slots, it can be fitted to maximize damage or armor tank, or even for speed and agility. On the other hand its limited mid slots—one of the 2 available will typically be occupied by a propulsion module—restrict the amount of tackle or utility modules it can carry. It also has a relatively limited cargo hold.

The Retribution finds use in PvE as a small, tough ship which punches above its weight, for use in sites or types of space where larger ships might be more vulnerable or simply cannot enter. In PvP it is an excellent choice for armor-tanked gangs of small ships, especially when supported by remote armor repair [[logistics]] ships such as the [[Deacon]], and it can also be flown solo.

== Skills ==

Like any Tech 2 ship, the Retribution benefits from strong [[support skills]] and [[fitting skills]]. Armor tanking skills and energy turret skills are particularly relevant, and the ship really deserves Tech 2 turrets.
