The Mekubal is the Angel Cartel's answer to the increasing prevalence of destroyers in the fleets of empire navies, representing the classic Angel fusion of Gallente and Minmatar technology, with perhaps a dash of something more ancient, in a hard-hitting and compact package. The resultant ship is a potent gunboat capable of putting out a storm of projectile weapons fire while having the speed to respond and redeploy as needed by the raiding fleets of the Cartel.
