STRENGTHS
- Offensive/defensive capabilities: The Tiger class has both high offensive and defensive capabilities. With strong firepower from its wide arsenal, to the advanced shields and thick plating that protect its hull.
- Low hangar space: The Tiger class lacks any real hangar space for fighters and support craft. Relying mainly on carriers to supply them with any real fighter squadrons.
Pirates, raiders and miscreants of all kinds have plagued hyperspace lanes and shipping routes since the early days of space travel. Over the centuries, freighters have had to devise methods to evade or defend against such threats, but one of the most effective have been escort cruisers. The Tiger class is specifically designed for the role of an escort vessel. With strong armament and excellent defenses, it holds well against most adversaries. With thick phrik plating and advanced shielding, it can shrug off most of what is thrown at it. A wide array of weapons gives it plenty of options to tackle whatever comes after the freighters it's guarding.
