An aging veteran of the IR, the Battler was able to survive many battles against the Vong by means of applying a 'dazzle' camouflage which confused the Vong tacticians who primarily aimed weapons by 'line of sight' targeting. Due to the success of the camouflage tactic, the Battler had 2 of its light laser turrets and 2 of its fast tracking AA turrets removed, and replaced with 5 dual medium turbolaser turrets, making the Battler an excellent hit and run frigate thanks to it powerful engines. explanation of Dazzle Camouflage: http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/bam/live/content/zcfk6sg/large http://explore.patternity.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/PATTERNITY_Olympic-in-Dazzle-Camoflage-1.jpg
