The Deacon is the latest success from the engineers at Carthum Conglomerate, designed as a remote repairing ship that can keep up with fast moving fleets including those containing the extremely popular Confessor-class Tactical Destroyer. Managing to miniaturize the powerful remote armor repairing systems from their best-selling Guardian Logistics Cruiser onto a frigate-sized hull was no simple task, but Carthum was able to release the Deacon in nearly record time and under-budget thanks in part to extensive cooperation with researchers from the Lai Dai megacorp.

Developer: Carthum Conglomerate

Carthum ships are the very embodiment of the Amarrian warfare philosophy. Possessing sturdy armor and advanced weapons systems, they provide a nice mix of offense and defense. On the other hand, their electronics and shield systems tend to be rather limited.

Should be used for small-gang PvE with a single logy (L4 burner missions). Make sure to maintain distance from hostiles: web hostiles by DDs or jam by EWars to help speed tanking the incoming damage. Turn off remote repair modules when taking income damage: usually, if logy if during burner mission logy is primaried, DDs don't take damage or can disengage. Chose resist plates type based on opponent damage type.
