A dedicated docking bay supports a small launch for personnel transfers or boarding actions, while two low berths ensure emergency transport capacity. Though lightly equipped for cargo, with only 9 dT of storage, the Stardrake prioritizes speed, firepower, and versatility over logistics. Favored by planetary defense forces, corporate security fleets, and independent system militias, the Stardrake-Class is a reliable guardian of the spacelanes, ensuring that local authorities maintain control over their territory.


Dragon Class System Defense Boat

The Dragon-Class System Defense Boat is one of the most widely deployed vessels in planetary defense, renowned for its versatility and efficiency in maintaining law and order within critical star systems. At 400 dT and equipped with Thrust-7 propulsion, this highly mobile craft is built for rapid-response operations ranging from customs enforcement to anti-piracy and piracy suppression. Armed with two missile bays and additional hardpoints for adaptable weapon configurations, the Dragon-Class is capable of dealing with a wide range of threats, from rogue traders to hostile ships attempting to breach system security. while its reinforced hull ensures it can withstand the rigors of prolonged operations in hostile environments. Stationed in orbit, hidden within gas giants, or strategically placed in asteroid belts, Dragon-Class boats patrol key systems, ensuring the safety of vital trade lanes and the security of planetary authorities. A staple of planetary defense fleets, it embodies the balance between firepower, speed, and adaptability, making it one of the most common and reliable choices for system security and policing duties.
