Its armor protection is comparable to many [[DropShip]]s of the period and its array of energy weaponry is strong enough to take out any opponent that attempts to destroy its charges. The Lyonesse, after its introduction in [[2513]], met with great success filling the near-orbit niche. This prompted [[Andurien AeroTech]] to build an additional model to complement the Lyonesse; the Aquarius. This sister ship eclipsed the Lyonesse in speed, weight and popularity. Despite this, it did not overshadow the Lyonesse' excellent close-in firepower.<ref name=TRO3075-270-271>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 270-271, "Lyonesse Profile"</ref> + The Lyonesse is a near planet escort small craft, design provide protection for spacecraft operating from planet and its near orbits.
