SERAPHIM-CLASS FRIGATE

This small but potent warship handles both system defense and deep penetration raids, and is often used for special operations by intelligence agents.

Its expensive drives, spinal gamma-ray laser, and advanced cloak and force fields make it far more effective and survivable than its size indicates. It uses a 1,000-ton (SM +8) unstreamlined hull, and is 75 meters long.
