Rainmaker

The Rainmaker is a ship that serves as the Navy's artillery platform.
== Description ==
The Rainmaker is a missile boat built in the Republic Navy Yard. It comes equipped with four missile launchers and enough ammunition to destroy even ships many times its size. Because of their lack of maneuverability and relatively light shielding, Rainmakers serve best as long-range attack ships, and once their missile supply is spent, they are relatively useless in combat.
== Location ==
Rainmakers can be purchased at the following ports:
* Ada, Aldebaran
* Luna, Sol
* Prime, Betelgeuse
* Geminus, Castor (before the bombing)
== Outfits ==
The following outfits are equipped by default on Rainmakers:

== Performance Information ==
These little ships can turn the tide of battle against ships many times their tonnage. Rainmakers will fly to the edges of the battlefield and slowly hammer a hapless ship to death while Republic Gunboats engage it directly.
Later in the Free Worlds campaign, the Navy adds stronger engines to the Rainmakers they deploy in battle. Even so, the Rainmaker remains weak in close combat.
== Notes ==
* Purchasing this ship requires a Navy License, which is not legitimately obtainable. As a result, Rainmakers can only be obtained by capturing them.
