Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Citadel is a twenty-five-hundred-ton system battlecruiser with eight points of armor, protected systems, and a heavy battery of meson, particle-beam, and torpedo bays. Laser, missile, sandcaster, and point-defense batteries protect it while the main weapons engage capital ships entering the defended system.

A cargo boat, protected launch, armories, brigs, medical support, repair facilities, fuel processing, and an 805-ton hold sustain its seventy-person crew on long local deployments. It has no jump drive and must be based or transported within the system it guards.
