Strengths:

• Mobile Fortress: The Coercitor is a strong, stubborn, resolute defender that can take a serious beating from ships significantly larger than it.

Weaknesses:

• Dull Rock: The Coercitor sacrifices arms and engine room for additional hangar capacity. It's more or less useless in a larger fleet battle beyond basic fire support. It's very much an easy target if left undefended.

Description: An old and venerable modification of the Custos-class frigate, the Coercitor primarily functions as a support vessel, helping compensate for the general lack of fighters among the Cerulean Fleet. Under High Admiral Drakon, it received extensive internal rewiring to make it a more competent command ship for the fighters it carried.

I figured I'd mention it, but you forgot to include the hangar field on this sub.

At moderate it would balance nicely.
