[Spaceships] Missile combat vessel

[Ulzgoroth]

Orion SOMP
This is a heavy interceptor/weapons platform, intended to serve the same role as a naval strike craft. With 24 hours life support, 18 hours power for energy weapons, and a fusion pulse engine, the Orion can operate out to 81 thousand miles from the mother ship, far enough to engage threats before they can fire on the carrier.

Its 3/2 point defense to missile ratio makes it highly survivable against equivalently armed units.
