I've been using a 2000-ton interceptor in my current campaign for a while. I've met seven different Swarm fleets, so this interceptor type is deployed in squadrons of three in carrier bases, positioned a few million kilometres from Swarm contact jump points. This is high tech for one of my campaigns and the V-G suffix is the seventh upgrade of the fifth generation design (generation is based on engine type). Some of the earlier version were only 1000 tons, as they used a particle beam rather than particle lance. The current version can score a strength-18 hit with single column damage at up to 320,000 km.

The Interceptor Bases are quite old tech, but the interceptors themselves tend to be replaced or upgraded.
