Light Patrol Craft (LPC)
Non-Slipstream capable planetary defense craft that supplement and augment Home Guard defensive capabilities. LPCs are usually equipped with a single ELS tube, several DM-5 defensive kinetic kill missiles and a crew of 10 or fewer. Several sub-classes of LPC are in use throughout the Commonwealth, depending on the particulars of the operational environment. LPCs are very fast, highly maneuverable and operate most often in squadrons of eight.

Heavy Patrol Craft (HPC)
Similar to the light craft, but equipped with 2 ELS tubes and an AP Gun turret. HPCs carry a crew complement between 20 and 30 sentients and usually serve as the command ship for a squadron of LPCs.
