Description (Specifications)[edit]
These ships perform customs checks, search and seizure, search and rescue and various utility support duties. Their streamlined needle/wedge hulls are equipped for wilderness refueling. Capable of 4 G acceleration they can catch most civilian vessels but lack agility due to the energy weapons and large model/5 fib ship computer adjacent to the avionics bay. They can make a single Jump-2 on internal fuel and are fitted with Jump-2 drop tanks for extended range operations.
