Security Vessel
H-class Security Vessels and Defensive Vessels covers a spectrum of defensive and security vessels covering many paramilitary and military taskings.
- H-class vessels have two major taskings: 1. Defensive Warfare 2. System Security.
- They are generally considered secondary naval combatants even when they form the first line of defense against enemy fleets. Their inability to conduct primary naval offensive operations is the strategic reason why they are considered secondary naval combatants.
- The class includes the well known System Defense Boat, law enforcement craft, police ships, customs vessels, and many more.
- The H-class also includes a range of Bounty Hunter Vessels with specialized police functions and defensive functions versus corsairs, pirates, or privateers.
- The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
- It is a starship supraclass.
