I actually used my already existing Runabout for this mission.
Swapped in some Purple MKXI Dual Phaser Banks and Photon Torpedoes.
Had to get used to dog-fighting though.

Strange that Photonic Fleet summons more Fighters, Shuttles and Runabouts when activated.
Is this a Vault-only thing? Or will this happen whenever I use Photonic Fleet with my Runabout?
