The KE11 Ancestor class Frigate is a warship.

Description (Specifications)

It is 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.

They are streamlined needle/wedge structures capable of wilderness ocean refueling. They carry enough internal fuel for two jumps and are fitted with additional drop tanks for Jump-1 as needed for extended range operations.
