Ok, cool, all I was wondering. And, the Firelance is essentially a frigate-sized version of the Eclipse-class from the Extended Star Wars. Yes, I know, not the best thing, but it's the one that instantly comes to mind, ridiculous as it is. A gun with a ship built around it. Spinal-mount, as I think they're also called.
