[N13 - Denon - HSY] Escort Guardian

HSY Escort Guardian S/A3b 

The production facilities of Denon are defended by multiple hard points and shields but if galactic conflict has taught us one thing it is that Star Fighters are often the key factor in both defense and attack.

To that end HSY developed the Escort Guardian, to defend both their valuable shipyards and to ensure the safety of supply and dignitary vessels in system.

Almost a mobile weapons platform, the one pilot ship features 4 laser cannons, 2 concussion missile launchers (hidden away when the wings are recessed) and a proton bomb bay on the underside.

Slow by most fighter standards, the Guardian relies on powerful shields for defense. The range of these shields can be extended by deploying the wings to maximum spread. In one fabled incident two of the ships settled a-top a cargo shuttle whose shields had failed which provided ample protection from a pirate raid until a nearby Vausi-class cruiser arrived.
