- This page is about the playable ship. For the NPC ship, please see Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort (Mob).
The Jem'Hadar Heavy Strike Wing Escort (T5) is an Admiral (Tier 5) starship with features comparable to both Escort and Carrier-type vessels. The Heavy Escort is a midsize Dominion vessel, with capabilities filling the niche between the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and the Jem’Hadar Dreadnought Carrier. This ship is available to players of any faction.
The Jem'Hadar Heavy Strike Wing Escort (T5) comes with a [Console - Universal - Dominion Coordination Protocol], which grants a powerful attack pattern that increases the damage, flight speed and maneuverability of all nearby allies while also granting temporary immunity to a variety of perception and maneuverability debuffs.
Obtaining
The Jem'Hadar Heavy Strike Wing Escort (T5) is only available as a rare drop from the [Dominion Lock Box]. They may also be found on the exchange, although they may be quite expensive.
Overview
A Jem'Hadar warship design developed in the Gamma Quadrant after the end of the Dominion War, the Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier is a ship designed to complement the tactics of Jem'Hadar warriors. Often supported by a wing of Jem'Hadar Fighters, the appearance of a Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier in a battle can turn the tide for the Dominion.
The Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier comes standard with 1 hangar bay of Jem'Hadar Fighters. Jem'Hadar Fighters are armed with Polaron Pulse Cannons and can use Directed Energy Modulation.
Performance
With a little over 96% of the Assault Cruiser's hull strength the Jem’Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier is one of the heaviest escorts in the game, exceeding its sister class Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and even the Fleet Heavy Escort Carrier. With Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander Engineering Bridge Officers it gives the option of additional Engineering based healing over a traditional escort, maintaining the same healing as a traditional escort and adding offensive or crowd-control Engineering abilities.
The Dominion Coordination Protocol this ship comes with is very useful, particularly in team play, and would be a good add-on to any Jem'Hadar ship, giving a portion of the effect of Ability: Attack Pattern Omega to yourself, your pets, and other teammates with a three minute cool down.
