The '''Python''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable maneuverability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots. | The '''Python''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable maneuverability for its hulking size.

It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, maneuverability, and protection currently available.
