The Protector Missile System is the USA's basic anti-surface and anti-air defensive structure.

Lore[]

The Protector is the United States’ twenty-first century approach to defensive warfare. Originally a naval missile platform meant to combat aircraft and ships, this AEGIS variant can be constructed in virtually any terrain. The Protector is substantially different to the old Patriot primarily thanks to the vertical launch system, which brings two key improvements. Firstly, the faster tracking and launch allows it to shoot down aircraft and missiles with greater ease; and secondly, it’s now able to fire from behind obstacles such as structures and terrain. This allows the Protector to defend an area without actually exposing itself to enemy fire. It isn't known at this time how the reloading and supplying of the Protector happens as it's been confirmed that the station is completely unmanned, though some military experts claim the Protector has a doubly redundant self-feeding mechanism contained entirely underground and fed from complicated magazine networks. It is capable of storing enough ammunition that during extended testing the paint was reportedly stripped from the outer casing by the constant blast of the missile exhausts. Protectors retain their predecessor's ability to relay targets between stations, allowing batteries to fire from outside their normal acquisition range.
