Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters.

Developer: Ishukone

The Buzzard was developed according to the exacting specifications of Admiral Okaseilen Fukashi, head of the Caldari Navy Recon Division, and was the first production level ship specifically built to take full advantage of the cloaking breakthroughs achieved by Project Mirage at Crielere.

Summary

It is difficult to fill the Buzzard's mid slots without running out of CPU or using co-processors, making it perform below average for a lower skilled pilot, but for a pilot with Covert Ops V and top notch fitting skills it can be the best in its class.

Notes

"Buzzard" is a generic name applied to a wide range of birds of prey. The common European buzzard is a fairly large raptor with distinctive "spread-finger" wingtip feathers; it spends much of its time perched, watching its environment attentively.
