DESCRIPTION
[background=transparent]Hull[/background]
The hull of the Guardian has been designed and made in order to survive some light bruising. As the ship lacks any weapons capable of disabling an enemy capital ship, it needed to be able to survive against bombardment. As a support ship its armor is extensive, but that is most likely because the ship only has a pair of weapons, which while decent size, do not require the immense crew space of a ship laden down with weapons. The hull's outermost layer is a thick sheet of titanium grid reinforced matrix armor. Beneath this there are numerous alternating layers of duranium vertical armor and bronzium horizontal armor which assists in keeping missiles, particle beams, and projectiles from penetrating the hull, though everything has its limits. Beneath this there is Alusteel belt armor that has been magnetically compressed into a dense plate to increase its durability. This is the outer hull, with the dorsal half of the ship and the prow receiving a double hull with a small gap between the two filled with a duraplast chainmail-like mesh for additional resilience. Despite this extensive armor, the weak spots are present. A pair of large ventral hangars are unable to close, and thus would rely on shields to keep from suffering internal damage, as well as the rear armor being significantly thinner and less protective.

Hangar
The Guardian-class makes use of a pair of ventral hangars, each capable of supporting a full wing of Starfighters. The fighters are held on launch racks to make disembarking as easy as possible. With dual hangars it is able to launch a pair of squadrons simultaneously, and also recovers its complement quicker than a single hangar ship could. Because it was made with thick upper and front armor it is perfectly suited for releasing its fighters and shielding them from concentrated enemy fire while they disperse.

Support Systems
The Guardian is named such because it is made to protect other ships from harm. A powerful support vessel the ship is a carrier, bringing several squadrons to bear on an enemy. Its key component however is not its ability to ferry starfighters into battle, but its ability to transfer its shields to other ships. Featuring a full Dorsal and Ventral Aegis Shield Transfer array the Guardian is able to defend other ships from harm. Used in conjunction with Aegis Shield Receptor nodes the Guardian can defend numerous squadrons or large capital ships, acting as a buffer against long range artillery ships or allowing a squadron of heavily armed starfighters to smash through enemy swarms with ease.

In addition the Guardian features a Full Spectrum Sensor Suite providing it with a great deal of tactical data. As a Carrier it features a Tac-Com for its fighter support and thus it is imperative that it be able to provide them with accurate data on the battle as the situation progresses. With a Hydrostatic Field and Cap Drains, the ship can enter aquatic environments, dense celestial anomalies, and hide in places other ships could not.

Weaponry
It has numerous point defense weapons that a spread evenly over the hull to provide total coverage from enemy starfighters and missiles. It mostly makes use of point defense Ion Cannons and CIWS weapons to counter incoming missile weapons.

Its only capital ship weapon is an ACS-803 Energy Siphon Cannon. While these are powerful anti-shield weapons, and reinforce the ships own shields (Or the shields it is loaning out) they are unable to damage the hull of ships or disable enemy ships meaning that the Guardian is basically defenseless against capital ships. This turret is located on the prow of the ship, both being able to fire forward, and into the Port and Starboard fire arcs.

Strengths:

  • Shield Loan: It has the ability to project its shields to support friendly ships (With proper Modifications), shedding its own shields and granting them to others.

  • Heavy Hull: It was built knowing most of the time it would not have shields, thus, it has heavy hull plating on its dorsal side and prow.
Weaknesses:

  • Offensive Weaponry: It has very little of it, and nothing to hurt capital ships Hulls

  • Bulky: Its big and shaped like a teardrop. It doesn't really do moving around for a relatively small ship.
