Editing Necron Fleets (section)

===Escorts===

Escorts are the smallest and most common ship available to the Necrons. Vessels of this class are generally grouped into two types: with frigates being relatively bigger and better armed, while Destroyers are much more quicker by comparison.

In the video games, due to their lack of any sort of shields and low Troop count, Necron Escorts are especially vulnerable to Assault actions like Lightning Strikes, while being unable to assault in return.

Another issue Necron Escorts have in the games is their limited and forward-facing firing arcs, which force them to sit still to attack, rather than circle-strafe like smaller ships from other races. As such, abilities like the Plasma Bomb are pretty much the bane of a inattentive Escort skipper.


'''Jackal'''

Slightly bigger than the Dirge, the Jackal is also slightly slower, though it makes up for this by having more Lightning Arc turrets and Hull Points. It's also a little more costlier by comparison.


'''Dirge'''

Relatively fragile as far as Necron ships go, the Dirge is one of the fastest units anywhere, able to keep pace with even the most nimble [[Eldar]] Destroyer.

The Dirge is armed with front-facing short ranged Lightning Arc batteries.
