Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard Shipyard v1.13 written by Andrea Vallance.

The Forfar class heavy frigates were for many years the backbone of the Caledonian fleet screening force. They began a successful line of design that, between the Forfars and the succeeding Sunderlands and Antrims, number over 200 hulls.

History

The TL–11 Scapa class heavy frigates had been a misbegotten design from the beginning; underpowered, with a clumsy weapons layout, the fleet was ready to see them go as soon as possible. Development of the Forfars was difficult and protracted - largely tied into delays in getting the highly advanced power plant and sensor fits ready for prime time - but when they entered service, they were considered a great success.
