These close escorts handle many routine patrol and picket duties along the frontier of the Katowice political entity. Built and designed locally at the TL–11 shipyards, the hope was that their defenses would allow them to survive long enough to escape and alert central command. They handle fairly well and can shrug off hits from small pirates. They are capable of running down smugglers or typical commercial traffic. However, long manning the blockades is limited by the lack of stores and the inability to provide its own refined fuel.
