	There is nothing too amazing when it comes to the Tau Protector Escorts stat-wise. As both have relatively standard stats for ships of their size. One thing worth pointing out here is that they do not receive the bonus to frontal armor that line ships do on account of their lack of targetable subsystems. However, they do have a handful of basic skills and abilities, the most unique of which is their warfare bonuses they get to pick at the beginning of the battle. Beyond that, most of the uniqueness of the Protector faction lies in their special weapon types, frontal focusing arcs with lack of real broadside weaponry. Great faction for high single-target damage.		There is nothing too amazing when it comes to the Tau Protector Escorts stat-wise. As both have relatively standard stats for ships of their size.
