Description:

A much more robust variant of the Guardian, the Patrol Carrier was originally given the less than imposing designation of Auxilliary Tender in an attempt to hide its capabilities from military planners and the mentats of other houses. The core hull remained unchanged but reinforced, and the weapons it was outfitted utilized a new variant of the classic Vulcan railgun, using the targeting ability of the advanced Huffuf Oil Lens, greatly increasing its accuracy. The hangar bays are usually filled with the excellent Waveskimmer fighter, and its ability to project power with these superiority fighters are what eventually gave the Patrol carrier its excellent reputation. Finally the ship did keep some of its repair capability of its more common sister ship, but due to the military changes it lost its ability to repair any external ship, but often used those facilities to refit fighters at convenient pauses in the battle.
