Description: The generic term used for any small multi-crewed ship designed to stay in orbit around a colony or base, patrol boats are found in every corner of the galaxy in one form or another. Not every government or species can afford to keep frontline military vessels or automated defense satellites in every system under their control without affecting their resources adversely. Even in the heart of the great galactic empires, it is quite common to see these small patrol boats keeping light raiding activity and criminals under control, as well as stalling larger invasions when necessary.

Armed lightly and inexpensively, these craft have no chance against an enemy’s frontline warships but their presence stretches the capabilities and influence of their fleets for little extra cost. Several companies make their living doing nothing but building cheap and easy patrol boats to be sold to those without the resources to build them on their own. With the state of affairs commonly found across the galaxy, this can be a very lucrative business indeed.
