Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Force Unleashed Campaign Guide
A customs and inspection vessel designed by Sienar Fleet Systems, the Guardian-Class Light Cruiser is a fast and durable ship capable of patrolling remote systems without the need for backup or support. The Guardian-Class Light Cruiser was designed to be relatively autonomous, though of course it was not expected to fend off large-scale assaults. For the most part, the Guardian-Class Light Cruiser handles smuggler and pirate traffic in remote systems, acting as both a command post and enforcement vessel.
Though considered a light cruiser, the ship is actually just a heavily armed Space Transport designed to let small crews patrol a star system with few amenities. Despite the fact that the ship has a Hyperdrive, the Empire typically limits the Guardian-Class Light Cruiser to missions within a single star system. Any exercises that would normally force a Guardian-Class Light Cruiser away from its home system usually warrant the assistance of larger ships, typically corvettes or smaller frigates.
