Tigress and her classmates are bit multirole 'do everything' vessels, and are thus really expensive compared to a smaller ship that only does the 'shooty' and doesn't have its own fighter complement. Thus Tigress is a very powerful ship, and great for showing the flag and frontier patrols in areas that might get hot of a sudden, but she's not the sort of ship you want many of - better to buy a few and then spend the rest of the budget on less glamorous ships. Then there's that shift in doctrine to battle riders and tenders, and to hell with the frontier systems (it's not like they pay much in the way of taxes anyway). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That would explain their deployment 'way out there' in the 'Marches. I still wonder how many Tigress 'Rons there are. As I recall, examination of the counters from the 5th Frontier War board game indicated that there was more than one of them in that game. I wouldn't necessarily expect them to be exclusive to the 'Marches but I don't recall anything either way on that count.
