Description

Eight crew operate the bridge, engineering spaces, sensors, and six weapon stations. Two forward cannon support pursuit, dorsal and ventral mounts cover crossing targets, and an aft weapon discourages attack from astern. A class-four hyperdrive, navicomputer, six months of stores, and forty tonnes of cargo permit prolonged independent patrol. Six passengers may be carried for inspection, security, or specialist duties. Ye-4s reinforce isolated systems and escort traffic where a full capital patrol vessel is unnecessary.
