Description


Verces's Ringworks Industries designed the Sentinel to have the armaments and maneuverability needed to protect other vessels, space stations, and asteroid bases from all manner of foes, such as the space pirates who inhabit the Diaspora. In addition, the built-in gravity gun makes the Sentinel a reliable workhorse for moving or destroying harmful space debris. The Sentinel can also act as a towing vessel if needed to bring damaged or disabled starships to dock for disembarking and repairs. Further, the Sentinel model has features that allow it to serve as a shuttle for important guests or as a transport for captured pirates bound for prison.
Most companies maintain only a few of these vessels at a time, and since they typically lack Drift capability, the vessels must remain close to the areas they are protecting. Most of them operate within the Pact Worlds, but they can be transported to farther reaches of space, where the threats can be more dangerous. Such Sentinels are often fitted with more weapons, trading out their shields and guest amenities to become more akin to warships than guardian shuttles. Others might replace the gravity gun with a selection of smaller light weapons and upgrade the Sentinel's engines, prioritizing maneuverability over firepower.
