Description: When your enemy is fond of long range attacks, and you are built for close quarters, how do you counter their advantage? One method is speed. Another is a powerful shield. The Yularen-class utilizes the latter. The intent is simple:
with high powered and redundant shield systems the ship can approach the enemy at the lead of a fleet and soak up the enemy attack before the fleet reaches close combat quarters. With the high focus on point defense lasers, the ship also acts as an anti-fighter screen, deploying it's own when the defensive systems are not enough. What it lacks in speed and armament it makes up for in defense and hangar capabilities. It's not going to destroy many enemy capital craft, but it's a beast against fighters, not to mention physically imposing.
