Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander Prophecy
Four Maser turrets make this small cap ship worth watching. The corvette is small and light, suitable for attacking targets requiring more firepower than would be available from fighter squads. However, they are slower and less maneuverable than fighters and they aren't shielded or armored anywhere close to the extent of the larger cap ships in the Alien fleet. Because of this, they are by no means out of the running as potential targets for adventurous young fighter pilots.
Fighters are typically not a priority target for the Barracuda, but as with any ship they will return fire at anything that antagonizes them. Note that a Barracuda's turrets are too small to be targeted -- the only way to take them out is to destroy the corvette itself.

Description: Intended to lay waste entire formations of opposing fighters, this is a massive, heavily shielded and armored (but not particularly maneuverable) vessel. It is armed with several small “disco ball” weapons which emerge slowly from the hull to spray concentrated and devastating anti-fighter fire in almost any direction (though the potency of the fire decreases rapidly over range). The balls then must retract into the hull to recharge, rendering the ship temporarily vulnerable for several seconds. Additionally, the balls themselves can (and generally must) be targeted and destroyed just prior to firing, when they are in the process of rising out of their charger housings.
