This interstellar warship is designed for interstellar patrol, strike, and convoy escort operations. Built with a 3,000-ton (SM +9) streamlined hull, it offers a well-balanced design whose drive drive provides enough thrust to take off or land on an Earth-sized planet.

The standard imperial light warship, the backbone of the ability to protect lesser systems.

Front Hull System

• [1-2] Nanocomposite Armor (total dDR 80).

Rear Hull System

• [1] Nanocomposite Armor (dDR 40).

The usual complement manning the vessel are six bridge crew (captain, pilot, navigator/sensor operator, two missile gunners/sensor operators, chief engineer), a medic, two turret gunners, and two technicians. A second shift are often carried, and the ship is usually also be assigned a squad-sized marine boarding party

About 25 000 Battle-class frigates have been upgraded with a basic shield and new drives. This conversion removes the Hot reactionless Engines and add one Super Reactionless Engine, a force screen and a 150 ton hold.
