Name: Hawk Hull: Merlin Class Role: Assault Frigate
Following in the footsteps of Caldari vessels since time immemorial, the Hawk relies on tremendously powerful shield systems to see it through combat, blending launchers and turrets to provide for a powerful, well-rounded combat vessel.
Developer: Lai Dai
Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships but providing very little in terms of tactical specialization.

Summary
The Hawk is an assault frigate specialised in missiles and rockets. It can be fit with standard launchers, but is more commonly rocket fit, where its velocity bonus to missiles allows it to fire rockets out to overheated web range. One of the hawk's distinguishing features is its 5 mid slots, a feature shared by only one other dedicated combat frigate (the Hookbill); this gives it a lot of flexibility for fitting shield tank modules and/or tackling modules.
