When it is too costly to send a larger ship to patrol a system, the Empire sends a handful of Guardian-class. While not particularly well armed or shieldedthey are usually a match for most system traffic. Acting as a deterrent for the not-so-serious criminal. When faced with faster or more powerful ships intent on breaking the law they usually give a token effort before calling for more capable ships to sassist. Some are specificly sent out to wait for Rebel ships or smugglers to come out of hyperspace.
