info: 'The Archon was commissioned by the Imperial Navy to act as a personnel and
fighter carrier. The order to create the ship came as part of a unilateral initiative
issued by Navy Command in the wake of Emperor Kor-Azor''s assassination. Sporting
the latest in fighter command interfacing technology and possessing characteristically
strong defenses, the Archon is a powerful aid in any engagement.
The Archon is capable of generating a Jump Conduit Portal which allows it to instantaneously
transport itself and nearby fleet members to a target cynosural beacon. Ship classes
that can be moved via conduit: Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers,
and Battleships.'

## Summary
</div>
The Archon is the Amarr carrier. Although it has an extremely durable armor tank thanks to its resistance bonus, the Archon is mostly overlooked in favor of the other armor carrier, the Thanatos, for both PvP and PvE. This is because the Archon has a smaller fighter bay and lower fighter damage, and carriers usually engage well out of the weapon range of enemy ships.

## Notes
</div>
Archon (ἄρχων) was the ancient Greek word for "ruler" (it's related to the modern English words "patriarchy" and "matriarchy"). But given the tendency of Amarr ship names to draw from specifically religious words, the Archon's name might come from the Archons, powerful beings in the cosmology of Gnosticism and Manicheanism.
