The Bimith-class Defenders are major defensive warships of the Abbai Matriarchate.

Overview[]

It's a large ship to which the defense of important tagets and the fleet's most vulnerable sections has been entrusted. The ship is the logical conclusion of the design work which created the armada's frigates. Possessing a larger hull, the capability to generate defensive shielding, and armed with quad arrays that gives it the ability to slice apart small attackers at will, anything smaller than a capital ship should refuse battle with the defender.
