DESCRIPTION
The latest release from Santhe-Sienar is one of their larger 'starfighter' class ships, capable of performing extended escorts without needing to use ship hangars. Its main duty is defending larger vessels, providing an ordinance screen and anti-starfighter screen with its point-defense cannons. Unlike an interceptor, it does not speed out to meet the enemy. Unlike a space superiority fighter, it is not supposed to enter into dogfights with enemy fighters. Rather, it is designed to remain close to larger ships, using its defense turrets to knock out inbound missiles and torpedoes, or shoot down passing enemy starfighters. Due to this role, maneuverability has been emphasized over speed. This starfighter doesn't need to be very fast to keep up with the capital ship it is escorting. But it may need to maneuver around the escorted vessel, making sure to cover vectors of enemy approach.

In addition to escorting ships in space, the Guardian can also be used to hover over troop deployments in order to cover them against mortar or missile fire, while gunning down enemy units from an elevated position. Its point-defense cannons make it unlikely that an enemy will successfully shoot it down with missiles as it performs overwatch of ground targets. If it is hit, its robust shields and armor ensure it can take a licking without abandoning its post.
