Description
The vessel sacrifices hangars, troop accommodations, and strategic endurance for an exceptionally heavy main battery. Quad medium turbolasers, missile tubes, and layered point defenses allow it to guard shipyards, stations, and fixed approach corridors. Praesidium flotillas normally operate with tenders and sensor platforms inside a defended system.
