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 with increased electronic warfare capabilities.

Summary

The Worm is a missile and drone frigate. It has a 25m3 drone bay and 25mb bandwidth, allowing it to field a full flight of light drones - unusual for a frigate, but not unique. Its gallente frigate bonus increases its drone bay, but not bandwidth, meaning it can carry extra drones but can never fly a medium drone flight. The worm has a bonus to missile velocity (and therefore range) but no missile damage bonus, and it has only 2 launcher slots, making its damage unimpressive. Overall the Worm is not a bad ship, but the price tag doesn't match the benefits and it is outshone by the Ishkur in the same role, though it requires less skills to get in to than the ishkur.
