Description

The IPV-1 combines capital-scale sensors and weapons with a hull small enough for economical deployment throughout a single star system. Its batteries can disable freighters, repel armed smugglers, and support boarding operations, while a modest security detachment conducts inspections and seizures. The craft lacks the strategic endurance of a corvette and normally operates from a patrol station, customs base, or supporting tender.
