Some other ships in the class are named Fill, Replace, and PKZip. This class is lightly armed and armored since they may be called upon to pick up troops in war zones. The pulse lasers are more commonly used to open paths in ships that are damaged. This class has a much better main computer than required by its jump drive, and uses the extra capacity to aid in medical care. The second bridge is normally used for coordinating large scale medical emergencies. The embarked marines are available to guard unruly patients or prisoners. The marines also have 8 drop capsule tubes available so they can get to planetary casualties quickly (marines assigned to this class normally have some amount of medical training). Four modular cutters fitted for patient transport allow speedy transfer of patients to the ship. Eight medical bays with operating theaters, doctor offices, and examination rooms allow speedy help for wounded or ill patients. Extensive cargo spaces allow for extended voyages.
