Briefing
The Elbe was created for small long-range recon groups that started traveling further away from the Sol homeworlds. With accidents, radiation damage, and other unforeseen events, a smaller, cheaper repair tender was needed to accompany these deep space exploration vessels. A few years after the Elbe was introduced, the new war with the Genari Empire made these ships even more useful -- Sol invasion fleets needed more tenders to repair battle damage while deep in Genari space. They have a hardy force field with a single defensive laser, and usually stay out of the battle area waiting to repair friendly ships that approach them.
