DESCRIPTION
A humanitarian vessel designed in the wake of the older medical cruisers being retired from OPA service, the Therapist is designed to be a first responder vessel for large scale crises throughout the galaxy and features a fully stocked, cutting edge wing of medical suites and a variety of emergency support craft. As a primarily civilian vessel, it relies heavily on good will and the good intentions of whatever hot zone it finds itself drawn into, as well as any escorts assigned to it, lacking all but the most basic defenses and whatever weapons are mounted are primarily designed to defend the ship against navigational hazards such as asteroids, with its array of tractor beams that can attract or repel objects. As such, enemies that can stay outside half standard turbolaser range can easily destroy it.
