The Defender is a small 2-person light fighter manufactured by Souli. The unique feature of the Defender are the two fully identical cockpits, both capable of operating all ship systems. The ship has four size 2 guns and four size 2 missiles. The interior features two beds and no further amenities.
“ | Meet the Banu Defender, a multi-crew fighter whose patchwork design highlights technology from a variety of species. Featuring modest accommodations for its crew and easy access to components, the Defender gets its name from the role it serves: the first line of defense against enemy attacks. That's why the Defender makes the ideal companion to the Merchantman: one to do the heavy hauling and the other to perform the deadly dogfighting. | ” |
