These [[close escort]]s despite being woefully ineffective as combatants are fairly effective as deterrents to marauding forces. Many a merchant trader owes a debt of gratitude to the long-serving ''Gazelles'' and ''Fieries'' of the [[Imperial Navy]] and local sector navies. Not the best fighter, bet often there when you need them. {{Unpublished cite|author=Maksim-Smelchak}}
