Summary
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 hangar and lower fighter damage, and carriers usually engage well out of weapon range of enemy ships.

Notes
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.
