## Summary

</div>
The Basilisk is a ship designed for shield and capacitor transfer, the shield equivalent of the Guardian. The capacitor transfer is usually put to use trading with another Basilisk to create capacitor out of thin air, fulfilling the capacitor needs of both ships. Because of its reliance on cap transfer with other ships, the Basilisk is almost exclusively used partnered with other Basilisks, never alone. The use of cap transfer to fulfill its cap needs means that it can fit a stronger tank, but requires more coordination and leaves it more vulnerable to jamming, because if one logistics ship is jammed, the cap chain must be adjusted or the entire logistics wing will suffer a capacitor failure.
