The Archon was commissioned by the Amarr Navy to act as a personnel and fighter carrier. The order to create the ship came as part of a unilateral initative 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.

Summary

The Archon is the Amarr carrier. Formerly in possession of the strongest remote repair abilities of any vessel, the role of the Archon (and carriers in general) has shifted from logistics to mobile long-range damage-dealing in April of 2016. Although it has an extremely durable armor tank thanks to its resistance bonus, the Archon is mostly overlooked in favor of the Thanatos for both PVP and PVE due to its smaller fighter hangar and lower fighter damage, since carriers usually engage well out of weapon range of enemy ships.

In former days the Archon was also used in the "Slowcat" doctrine, similar to the concept of Remote Rep Dominixes or other drone ships like Prophecies or Vexors. This is no longer possible since the base armor hit points repaired by capital armor repairers was cut by nearly a third, among other reasons.

• So what you're doing with this ship depends a lot on how the fit is. Most of the time people seem to run 2 plates in the low slots.
• Upgrade as you feel worthwhile: T2 FSUs may be worth it. T2 Plates, Imperial Navy EANM, Imperial Navy DDAs, different neutralizer (battleship size sometimes), a cyno in place of one of the FSUs, a T2 smartbomb, it all depends. You can drop one A-Type ANP for an Imperial Navy EANM and run a Meta 0 Drone Navigation Computer to save some ISK.

Notes

The Archon was the top-tier triage carrier by a pretty large margin. This was the case primarily due to its enormous tank, buffed by its armor resistance bonus, its generous capacitor, and the fact that when a carrier is in triage it won't have its fighters out anyway. After the citadel release the Archon has lost it's triage role and is now equipped with new fighter squadrons.
