Angel

Contents
Overview[edit]
The most advanced TP-class ship, the Angel is fast, has a very large capacity for its class, can carry XL-class cargo and uncharacteristically for a Boron ship is quite capable of defending itself from light fighters. However, it's ability comes with a serious price tag.
Background[edit]
A purpose-built transport for the Boron Lar and other members of the royal family and senior dignitaries. With enhanced defensive capabilities and long-range communications, the Boron royal family can travel in relative security.
With the commercialisation of the Manta, and its age showing a little obsolescence, the Angel was commissioned as the new transport ship for the Boron royal family.
Physical Characteristics[edit]
The Angel shares many typical features with other Boron ships, such as its organic green plating and organic shape. It has flared "fins" in all four directions.
Combat[edit]
The Angel has almost the fighting prowess of a TM-class ship, with shields that are only equivalent to the lightest TMs. It is the premier Commonwealth-designed choice if one has to launch a boarding operation from a TP-class ship. It has the ability to fight off a lightweight attacker but only in very experienced hands should it be used in any offensive role against an opponent that will shoot back.
