The Sho'Kos-class Police Cutters are medium-sized warships in the Narn Armed Forces.
Overview[]
The ship is a medium sized spacecraft with fast engines, a streamlined frame, and short-range weaponry, that was designed to dart in and out of dangerous situations. It's capable of operating both as a cutter and an interceptor. The Narn Regime uses the ship heavily in trade areas to enforce their law against raiders and protects merchant traffic.
