STRENGTHS
- Strong defenses - The Warden is built to be durable and to be able to screen an area for fighters and missiles, it does this exceptionally well
- Advanced Point defence systems - between the accurate rapid firing guns and the advanced targeting computers, the Warden can track and potentially destroy entire fighter squadrons in moments should they run into its kill zone
- Low offensive capability - the Warden's systems are built almost entirely to be defensive, it had no way of dealing with capital class ships and in those situations must rely on allies or retreat.
- No hangar space - the ship sacrifices hangar space for power density reducing its flexibiltiy
The warden is a terror for star fighter craft. It carrier numerous rapid firing point defence weapons covering all arcs of the ship. Once an enemy fighter attack vector is determined, the Wardens can use the powerful engines to rapidly engage the enemy and blunt the attacks.
The ship itself if fairly tough and heavily automated, making it perfect in its support role, but as such a specialised ship, it falls down when trying to accomplish other goals.
