## Summary

</div>
The Vulture is the Caldari fleet command ship, designed as a railgun platform. With its second optimal range bonus replaced with a shield HP bonus, it has worse range and similar damage to its Tech 1 basis, the Ferox. In exchange, it is the tankiest shield command ship by far, making it the preferred booster for providing command bursts to large shield fleets. Its missile-using counterpart, the Nighthawk, has a higher damage potential.
