Carried aboard the Gorodish Class Fleet Tenders. This is a class of heavy imperial battle rider. It carries the heaviest possible armor, defensive screens and the best available meson spinal mount, allowing this class to contend with and defeat much larger battleships, especially when working in groups. It carries many redundant systems which would be impossible on a jump capable ship. Their legendary damage control capabilities coupled with their ability to absorb damage render them difficult to destroy or cripple. Retreat, however, and defeat are not viable options. The loss of life, especially with a full frozen watch, eleven fighter squadrons and an imperial marine platoon, is tragic when facing superior forces. For this reason BatRons of the Gorodish Class were often escorted by battleships to cover deployment and recovery operations, that is the best of both worlds for many admirals.
