The Xarbo class Battle Rider is a defensive warship.

• It is a military ship and a Battle Rider.

Description (Specifications)

In service with the Regency of Muirimi Navy and carried by the Karna class Fleet Tenders, these 10,000 ton battle riders carry the heaviest armor and the best weapons available. This comes with excellent agility. They carry another model 5fib redundant systems in the event of battle damage. They carry three companies of assault marines. They very heavy armor makes them more expensive than the tender that ferries them from one system to the next.

The current standard defensive craft is the Xarbo class Battle Riders.
