MarsGuard Interceptor Class Heavy Pursuit Boat

Class History

The Interceptor, like the Enforcer, began life as a civilian vessel. This was built as a large private yacht for the CEOs of mega corporations, or as in-system passenger ships. When Mars gained independance, the first prototypes were rearmed for the generous tax breaks that were being offered. The ship was the heavy compliment to the Prosecutor Pursuit Craft, in that they often work together to corale and detain offending vessels, or delay them enough for a larger ship to come to their aid.

The entire line was converted over to Interceptor production, and they are produced at approximately eight per year. Most of them are immediately put into MarsGuard service, but a few have been sold to other concerns (Mentabans, Sh'lassans, and even the EA).
