Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Sentinel is a three-hundred-ton system monitor with heavy armor, advanced electronics, a particle-beam barbette, and a meson-gun bay. A mixed defensive turret supplements the heavy weapons, allowing a small crew to threaten ships far larger than the monitor itself.

Fuel scoops, processing, repair drones, an emergency berth, and a 76.75-ton hold support prolonged local deployments. The ship cannot jump, so its strategic value depends on careful placement within the system it defends.
