He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels. – The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 10:1 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

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

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.

Equinox expansion - Equinox in Focus: New Upwell Ships Carriers will now have the capability of using a Conduit jump to take 5-30 players in the jump tunnel with them. The Number of players which are passengers for the jump is increased by a new skill, Capital Jump Portal Generation, which increases the limit by 5 per level. This is built into Carriers and does not require a module to be fitted. Carriers will gain the ability to fit new capital sized versions of the Micro Jump Drive and the Micro Jump Drive Field Generator, both of these modules will require a new skill, Capital Micro Jump Drive Operation.
