Korako 'The Rabbit' Kosakami, Gurista leader, has a particular love for stealing the Caldari's ship designs, souping them up, and turning them on their creators. With the Worm, he has taken the Merlin design so familiar to Caldari pilots and turned it into a defensive powerhouse capable of firing its volleys at terrifying speeds.

Summary
The Kronos update brought the Worm back in line with assault frigates, both in terms of dps and tank. The Worm can only use two light drones, but its role bonus makes them as effective as 8. The Worm is effective in PvE (up to level 3 missions with care) as well as in PvP although it is significantly more costly than tech II frigates such as the Ishkur.
