The Vigilant Class is a small, fast, FTL-capable patrol boat designed for system picket duties, customs enforcement, reconnaissance, and rapid response. Its light armament and shielding provide credible self-defense against drones, missiles, and small raiders, while its high acceleration and single computer core keep it nimble and inexpensive to operate. Essentially a spacefaring coast-guard cutter, it excels at patrolling friendly space, escorting convoys through low-threat zones, and performing search-and-rescue or boarding operations.
