The Colonial Protector is one of the main line heavy cruisers of the Colonial fleet. A flexible design, the protector is used in many roles including fleet support, star exploration and system defense. These ships are often found escorting the larger ships or in command of smaller battlegroups.
Originally designed for the protection of star systems and escort duties, they excell in performing quick strikes against Cylon outposts. Its complement of fighters in addition to it is impressive firepower for a ship of it is size makes the protector class vessels ideal for these types of attacks.
The Protector was drawn and designed by Todd Boyce, the SSD was designed by me and drawn by Sean Driscoll.
Protectors have two large shuttle bays, and may conduct transfers via (J1.593). Each bay has a launch tube ([J1.54] which will propel a fighter flight to speed 12 and will launch in direction 5 [Alpha bay] or 2 [Beta bay]) and a standard shuttle hatch (launching and landing from direction 4 for both bays).
The shuttle bays are large enough to accept yachts.
The Protector has a hyperspeed multiplier of x1.
