  info: 'The Bestla was originally the product of a development program that involved
    the eccentric and often clashing talents of Tapio Histvaari, Core Complexion''s
    Chief of Missile Systems Development, and Hildara Rostavik, Core''s Lead Designer
    of Autonomous Weapons. The program was an effort to cram as much missile firepower
    as possible into the Bestla heavy assault cruiser, and its Geri assault frigate
    counterpart, while also supporting the sophisticated control routines and bandwidth
    to operate stasis webification drones with massively uprated systems.


    Despite serious personality clashes between the Caldari missiles expert Histvaari
    and Minmatar drone designer Rostavik, the Bestla was brilliantly redesigned from
    its basic Rupture-hull format into an incredibly advanced, and incredibly expensive,
    heavy assault cruiser. While the performance of the Bestla''s missiles and stasis
    drones was far above anything achieved in combination in such a compact format,
    the Republic Fleet balked at the prospect of paying for whole squadrons made up
    of the Bestla and the similarly expensive Geri.


    Although a few Bestlas are maintained by elite special tasks units of the Republic,
    a significant number of the initial production run were donated as prizes to the
    Independent Gaming Commission''s Alliance Tournament XVIII by the Minmatar when
    the Republic became the principal sponsor of the event in YC124.'
