| info=Geared toward versatility and prolonged deployment in hostile environments, Marauders represent the cutting edge in today's warship technology. While especially effective at support suppression and wreckage salvaging, they possess comparatively weak sensor strength and may find themselves at increased risk of sensor jamming. Nevertheless, these thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters are the perfect ships to take on long trips behind enemy lines.<br><br>Developer: Boundless Creation<br><br>Boundless Creation's ships are based on the Brutor Tribe's philosophy of warfare: simply fit as much firepower onto your ship as possible. Defense systems and electronics arrays therefore take a back seat to sheer annihilative potential.<br><br>

Also as with all Marauders, the Vargur gains access to the Bastion Module, which when activated immobilizes the Vargur for 30 seconds and blocks any incoming remote assistance (such as remote repairs), but gives increased range, enormously increased fire rate, additional damage resistance, additional local repair power, and near immunity to electronic warfare. The combination of Bastion, Micro Jump Drive, and aforementioned tracking and falloff bonuses allows the Vargur to function as a massive turret that can teleport to any engagement range it wishes, output enormous amounts of damage with high accuracy, absorb and shrug off incoming fire, and then teleport out again before slower enemies can even get into range.

The Vargur is very much a "Goldilocks" Marauder in between the Kronos and Paladin with its balance of range and damage. The Kronos out-damages the Vargur and the Paladin outranges it, but the Vargur can still project 1800+ DPS out to a very respectable 40km. The Vargur also has better tracking than either of them. The Varugr's 6-5 slot layout also allows it to fit a cap-stable 400+ hp/sec active shield tank with high resists, something that the Kronos and Paladin cannot achieve with armor repairs. These traits make the Vargur the undisputed king of solo PVE. However, in fleet PVE such as [[Incursions]], [[Forward Operating Bases]], and nulsec PVP, the Vargur is mostly passed over because it is a shield ship and because it lacks the ridiculous range of the Paladin and the high damage of the Kronos. The Vargur does see some use as an extremely expensive solo PVP ship in lowsec, where it is often fit with multiple X-large Ancillary shield boosters to shrug of ridiculous amount of damage for a short amount of time.
