[edit] Overview

[edit] Primary Purpose

Well suited for patrol duty, defense and occasional raids. Other than the Nexus Class Warstar, it is the most maneuverable minesweeper and by far the cheapest ship with the Stellar Targeter. It can be armed with Plasma Bolt Cannons and Gatling Phasors, which a Pulsar Class Warcruiser cannot carry.

[edit] Secondary Purpose

A Corona Class Orbital Miner is difficult to move around with any speed. A Prominence is well suited to Tow the Corona.

A Prominence can be used as a transport by Towing a Pod.

[edit] Special

• It is subject to the special rules applying to ships of the Solorian Unity.

[edit] Ship Devices

• Mine Sweeper Array
• Stellar Targeter

[edit] Starheat Coefficient

• 1 (Multiply by starheat for new fuel)
• NOTE: Starheat 45 fills tank in 7 turns. Make use of the Solar Collection Array to refuel.
