Description
Larger than a Corvan, the Darkner serves well as a swift escort and attack craft with considerable speed and agility to accomplish a great deal even in the thick of a full-scale space battle. The weapon allocations of a Darkner are impressive but not overwhelming, so they usually fight in pairs or trios to cover each other and amass concentrated fire against larger or more important foes. A squadron focusing its many battle lasers upon a single target is something to be feared and respected, even by G’Quan or Omega captains.
There was at one time a precedent to try and make new varieties of every ship in the Republic armada. One such variant that emerged after the tragedies of the Earth-Minbari War was the ‘fast carrier’ version of the Darkner called the Amar. Losing the punch of its parent ship, the Amar was best served being used as a commercial escort or reconnaissance carrier.
