Guardian

In-Game Description
Difficulty: Hard

''The Guardian is equipped with two main weapons. Its primary weapon delivers steady damage at medium range whereas its secondary weapon delivers massive damage at longer ranges. The Guardian's Blink Buoy system can give the ship a quick escape route but has been updated to allow the Guardian to place it offensively triggering an offensive burst of damage to any enemies in the area when the Guardian blinks to the buoy.''

Summary
A variant of the Watchman that serves a very different role. Unlike the Watchman, the Guardian is capable of quickly and effectively relocating itself if threatened. As such, the Guardian is effective at closer ranges than the Watchman. An unrestricted firing arc and cover-displacing weapons allow the Guardian to effectively disrupt enemy formations and harass slow-moving targets. Like the Watchman, the Guardian's poor armor and weak close-range armaments make it vulnerable at close range, but thanks to it's buoy-based Blink system, the Guardian can rapidly extract itself to a chosen location.
