Prototype new frigate, meant for special operations and heavy scouting. It is the largest imperial vessel equipped with a cloaking device. The difficulty of producing the cloaking devices has been the main reason for slow production.

It is optimized more for stealthy operations than pure ship to ship combat. It's weaponry is mostly optimized for surprise attacks and planetary combat.

It is built on a 3,000-ton (SM +9) winged hull. It can lift off directly from planetary surfaces. The ship has more than 70% of systems in common with the Tiger class frigates.

The frigate has artificial gravity and gravitic compensators, and also has a stealth hull and dynamic chameleon surface. It is even theoretically capable of doing a non powered gliding reentry.

It is a new style layout with three decks partial along the length axis.
