Development
The Naga was designed in YC 109 by
Corporate Police Force as an anti-
Guristas ship, sacrificing the usual robust
Caldari Navy standards in favor of supporting battleship-class weaponry. It was rejected by
Hyasyoda management for being overspecialized.
The Naga design remained in the Hyasyoda archives, forgotten (save for a cameo in the Gallente holo-series
CPF Blue). In YC 113 the Caldari Navy entertained contracts for a new tier of gunboat battlecruiser. Hyasyoda quickly submitted and won with the Naga, underbidding both
Kaalakiota and
Ishukone.
The Naga is effective in any campaign where fast, mobile firepower is required.
