BSE Firstcontact?

I was wondering about that as well. It is roughly equivalent in firepower to the 1600 station except more focused on anti-fighter/missile obviously. However, it costs more (1800) and has WAY less armor/shields than that one which is odd.
I'd recommend buffing the armor and shields significantly to make it much tougher. "Hard to Kill" would be its secondary niche. Its what you make when you really need your station to hold out as long as possible.
