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.

Summary
The Archon is the Amarr carrier. It has bonuses to armor resistance, remote armor repair and energy transfer, making it a good logistics platform for armor fleets. The Archon is the backbone of the armor spider tanking sentry carrier doctrine known as Slowcats.

Notes
The Archon is currently, as of Inferno 1.3, the top-tier triage carrier by a pretty large margin. This is 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.
