History & Background (Dossier)
Based on an ancient design captured from an old enemy culture, these frigates were widely admired among the admiralty. The design was copied and improved upon. The hull is a fast and sleek needle/wedge configuration which is uncommon among the empire's designs. Although it has good evasive agility it suffers from lighter armor than many smaller empire ships. The large missile bay is supplemented by a deadly accurate turret of three beam lasers, which are rare owing to the empire's preference for the more damaging pulse lasers. A section of marine commandos are used for boarding actions, inspections and orbital assaults. The 10 lowberths can be used for additional troops, or for wounded or prisoners.
