Operational profile

Recognition and use

This ninety-five-ton particle escort boat mounts one particle beam behind armor and maximum six-gravity drives. Four operating crew, compact cabins, emergency accommodation, and a large stores hold support persistent local patrols.

Its energy weapon avoids magazine dependence and threatens armored small craft, but the boat has only one hardpoint and no jump drive. It is most effective as a carrier escort or system-defense interceptor with nearby maintenance support.
