Description (Specifications)
The class was commissioned for the 146th Fleet, in the Oreo Subsector.
The ship carries the mandated Alfred Class Gunboat. A noble decided that every ship in the fleet should carry one of these 90 ton Gunboats. The ship has scoops and purification and its partially streamlined close configuration hull is lightly armored. This allows for gas giant refueling. The ships 6 G acceleration, and 6 agility helps keep it out of danger. The ship is capable of jump 4, to keep up with imperial fleets. It carries a pair of missile bays, a pair of dual fusion gun turrets, four triple beam laser turrets, and two particle accelerator turrets. This design has a low watch to replace lost crew or carry ship's troops.
Basic Ship Characteristics
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]

History & Background (Dossier)
The Montgomery class Frigate sees service in Fleets across the Domain of Sylea and beyond. It was designed to be produced in shipyards across the Domain and was intended for general Imperial service, and as such it bore no particular cultural or political influences within its architecture. However, the influential former Duke of Oreo Subsector, an enthusiastic student of naval architecture, became involved in the project and began making demands.
The Duke was a direct descendant of the aristocratic Halls families, the pre-Imperial rulers of the region. When the Oreo Worlds, the proto-polity they controlled, was absorbed into the expanding Third Imperium they gained a privilege known as the "Oreo Settlement". This mandated that any vessels that were to serve with the 146th Fleet - the designation given to the former Oreo Worlds armada and considered by the Duke to be his "personal Fleet" – must be locally designed and manufactured. The privilege had been granted by Cleon I himself and the Duke insisted that it must be honored.
This was simply not possible – the 146th was an Imperial fleet, despite what the Duke chose to believe, and had to be able to serve the needs of the Imperium wherever required. Locally produced designs simply could not meet such demanding technological and strategic criteria. The intransigence of the Duke eventually resulted in a compromise (following the direct intervention of the Sector Duke) – all vessels of the Montgomery class, no matter where they served, were to carry an Alfred class Gunboat, the personal design of the Duke himself. The current Duke has maintained his father's policy and many classes of warship operating within the Domain carry at least one Alfred.
