Legend

this was a droid-controlled patrol ship produced by the Nerfworks, otherwise known as Shipyard Lab 6671-X42. Measuring 36 meters in length, the YQ-400 was armed with a pair of laser cannons and four heavy ion cannons. Its primary mission profile was to patrol the outer edges of a solar system, watching for incoming starships while running with passive sensors. When an incoming ship was spotted, the YQ-400 scanned it for identification and then passed the information onto the system's primary starship control center. If the controllers responded with an all-clear signal, the YQ-400 broke off its pursuit to return to its patrol. Until the all-clear signal was received, the YQ-400 trailed the incoming ship, prepared to fire at it if provoked. While the design of the ship was sound, the Monitor lacked enough firepower to deter a serious threat.
