Description:  Totally designed as a support vessel, the Argus is a transport ship for both troops and fighter craft.  The Argus can keep 120 personnel on board, mostly marines, in suspended animation until a battle is eminent.  Once an enemy vessel is disabled, the cutting airlocks burn through the hull and a small army of boarding marines invade.  The vessel's only defenses are its armor and the two fighter craft it carries with it in its dedicated hangers (fighter type carried vary from ship to ship).  Until all enemy vessels are destroyed or disabled, it is recommended that this ship stay out of enemy firing range.
