Notes This PCL variant is designed specifically to counter the new PN missile pod tactics with significant localized increases in counter-missile and PD laser fire in support of the normal defenses of the wall of battle. In addition to the large number of countermissiles carried and the suite of broadside point-defense lasers, the Aquila also mounts double the number of reaction thrusters for attitude control, and four times the reaction mass per thruster as the original Shrike LAC.
