As the years have passed the Exorcist class has been viewed as obsolete, and many [[Admiral]]s have switched to the [[Mars Class Battle Cruiser|Mars Class]] instead. The Exorcist is still, however, the best long range patrol ship available. This class has also proved popular in a dual role as colonization transport and or escort. As a transport its flight bays are fitted to carry new colonists and their equipment. Colony convoys are grateful for the company of an Exorcist cruiser due to its ability to out gun most pirate vessels, even when acting in its impromptu transport role. When used as a convoy escort, its flight bays launch attack craft to scout out the route ahead or protect the vulnerable [[Imperial Transport|transport ships]] from harm.<sup>1</sup>
