Designed to wreak havoc with opponents shipping, the Watchman class ships are fast, agile, and not particularly sturdy craft. Generally, they prowl the spacelanes of areas not loyal to the Empire, and picking off underdefended cargo vessels. The Watchman is quite successful in it's role, as it is capable of dealing with convoys of lightly armed medium and bulk transports, as long as it can isolate the individual elements. Against light freighters it is somewhat less successful, as those ships can dodge the Watchman's heavier weapons with relative ease, and can usually hyper out before they come into range of the starfighter scale weapons, which are designed primarily to fend off escort fighters. Still, if the cargo of the light freighter is particularly important, the Watchman can launch it's Interceptors, which will usually be able to destroy the freighter. The Interceptors are usually used to provide additional anti-starfighter cover, and to help separate larger ships from their formations.
