The great thing about the PREaTORIAN cohort is its a great place to start if you have just joined EVE and can only fly T1 frigates. Its very cheap if you lose a ship. Also many of the skills you will train to advance your frigate skills you will need later on anyway to fly all kinds of ships. Its very exciting to be piloting a ship that is upto 10 times faster than some of the ships you will be fighting. The PREaTORIAN cohort forfill the role of tackling whick like Xen says, means to tie the enemy down and stop them getting away.
