EDF Long Range Patrol

Before the war, the most common sightings of Kingdom ships were the Kingdom's long range patrols. These squadrens often appeared from seemingly no-where to aid civilian ships under pirate attack.

If you're fleet contains civilian vessels, you can field one long range patrol squadren. The squadren will only remain on the field as long as there are civilian vessels to protect. The patrol is not deployed with the rest of your fleet, instead coming in on one of the edges on the second turn.

A long range patrol squadren consists of one Patrol Cruiser and two Escort Destroyers.

This is one of the few exceptions when an escort is attached to a smaller vessel.
