Most of the interior space is devoted to shuttle bays, propulsion systems, and weapons with little in the way of scientific capability or modularity.

Regenerative shielding and several centimeters of Ablative Armor serve as defense, along with the vessel's surprising agility.This ship has one unique feature: a detachable weapons pod that operates as an independent sub light Attack Wing providing the Barrier with Multivectoral Attack Mode capabilities.
