Linchpin

Building upon the nature of the Escort, the Linchpin takes the support role to new extremes. The Linchpin features a Super Carrier power plant that supplies the ship with an extraordinary 3,000 ZWs of shields and 21.4 ZWs of usable power. It will come as little surprise to learn that the ship was designed around its incredibly large power plant. Just like the Escort, the Linchpin is able to recharge friendly shields in the midst of combat, but it can also use its power to temporarily increase the outgoing damage of its weapons. All things considered, the Linchpin is a highly desirable fleet companion for providing stamina in combat.
