This small ship is one the most numerous in the commonwealth, and is used by all the Commonwealth navies. The ships feature a battery of vertical cell missile launchers, and a pair of neutral particle cannons. However, the ship’s missile launchers are too small to mount the large FTL cruise missiles, which generally limits them to local defense, patrol, and commerce protection. The exception being the Dendrel faction, who use these ships to provide point defense escort to their strike groups.
