Description

The two-hundred-meter Bayonet combines long endurance with the armament, command spaces, and boarding capacity required for independent patrols. Heavy turbolasers engage hostile shipping while laser cannon protect the vessel during close inspection and escort operations. Tractor beams support customs enforcement, rescue work, and the detention of suspect craft. A small shuttle and probe complement extends its reach during surveys, reconnaissance missions, and searches across dispersed systems. Bayonets serve naval patrol groups and reinforce Customs formations in strategically important systems.
