SMS Polaris - Light Carrier

Description

The Polaris light carrier is a cheap and reliable support-solution for any starting force. Taking 3 Vector-Drones into combat, this craft will ususally move along the edge of the battlefield and support its allies with its wing of aircraft and 2 longrange torpedoes. In case any enemy comes close, the Polaris can try to deter it using its rather modest self-defense armament. It even has a moderate material storage to supply its allies.
