Paramilitary Ships are a step in-between civilian and military starships. They patrol the system as police, inspectors, and in a variety institutional roles. They may carry armament, but usually much less than a comparable military platform.

Paramilitary ships are typically industrial and system defense ships although the class generally includes many kinds of communications ships as well.
