ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Multi-type Jamming Center:
The Arachnid is equipped with a powerful jamming system the interrupt sensors and comms. This jamming center can block off an entire battlefield of its sensors and communication abilities, leaving one frequency of each open for allies. To keep enemy forces from finding ways around it, the system is constantly changing the frequencies that are jammed. These centers are linked to other vessels in the fleet to change their scanning and comm frequencies to the constantly changing unblocked frequencies.
Strengths:

• Good defenses.
• Jamming Center.

Weaknesses:

• Jamming antennas are exposed, and can be hit more easily.
• Low armament for size.

Description: The Arachnid-class Electronic Warfare Frigate (EWF) is a vessel that was designed to support the United Clans' many larger vessels by jamming enemy vessels' comms and senors. While these vessels are far from fighting craft, they are still a valuable part of the fleet.
