Classed as a Tactical Support striker, the Vampire's primary role is to serve as a tanker in support of other spacecraft. It is also able to deliver a respectable payload to any point in a given planetary-lunar system, but lacks the delta-V to perform combat missions in other star systems. Instead, its Alcubierre ring mounting capability tends to be used for self-deployment purposes, at which time the Vampire acts as a local patrol and strike craft.
