+ | ====M-44A Assault Frigate==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The M-44A is a pure combat frigate, designed for close-range engagements with other light warships. It is one of the ships most readily recognizable to civilians, as it can be seen on regular patrol routes throughout the Confederation. The Assault Frigate has a hard-earned reputation for heroic sacrifice: when the going gets tough, this tough little gunboat gets going, using a spinal heavy beam emplacement and a formidable torpedo battery to harass and stall a superior enemy attack force until reinforcements arrive. It rarely survives to see the victory it helps ensure. | ||

+ | ====M-40L/S Sensor Frigate==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The M-40S is a powerful electronic warfare platform, packing enough ECCM to prevent the enemy pulling any dirty tricks. With the arrival of the K'Luth this ship has seen more action than any other Frigate class in the fleet. It has also taken the most casualties, as frigates are just too small and fragile to last long in heavy combat and the M-40S in particular makes for a high-priority target, especially with the K'Luth. | ||

+ | |||
+ | The M-46M/Y is a long-range minelayer. It uses missiles to attack larger warships from a distance and mines to discourage enemies from getting too close. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Role: ''Minelayer/Missile Boat'' | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | The M-46ML/M is a long-range gunship. With its combination of high-velocity cannons and long-range missiles it can engage all types of targets from great distance. However, it is vulnerable to close-range attack. | ||

+ | ====M-47L/M-S Sniper Frigate==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the success of the M-239A/L-M Strike Cruiser, the Confederate Navy began looking to extend its tactical style to other hull types. Although there are still determined proponents of the M-401 Strike Dreadnought, the concept was deemed impractical and the study focused its attention on smaller hulls. They eventually settled on the sturdy M-40 frigate hull, but decided that a frigate would stand more to gain with a heavy electronic warfare package than a powerful beam array. The resulting ship is both sneaky and heavily-armed, a combination proven to be highly effective against the UGTO. | ||

+ | |||
+ | The Beak is the standard configuration for Hunters--similar in size and function to human frigates--and carries a heavy gun armament for engaging and destroying enemy Scouts and corvettes. As is the case for most K'luth ships, its frontal firepower is quite heavy but it carries little to the sides and none directly aft. As is also the case for most K'luth ships, if an enemy gets behind it can just cloak to shake them off. | ||

+ | The Nymph is a heavy attack Hunter, armed with a powerful torpedo battery to let it inflict crippling strikes on larger targets. Like all Hunters it is light on armor, making it something of an eggshell wielding a sledgehammer. Hit-and-fade attacks are the standard operating procedure for this ship, as hanging around anything bigger than it is inviting a world of pain. It operates best when supporting larger K'Luth ships, which can hold the enemy's attention while the deceptively small Nymph delivers a knock-out blow far bigger than its size would suggest possible. | ||

Frigates are a step up from scouts in that they are more heavily armored and just about as maneuverable as a scout would be. Frigates in groups can do a surprising amount of damage.

ICC
Tier 1 Frigates
M-46M Missile Frigate
The M-46M is one of the most modern frigates in service. Designed in response to the UGTO deploying larger and larger cruiser squadrons, the Missile Frigate packs a devastatingly strong punch for its size. While it also carries enough ECM to stay hidden it has nothing in the way of short-range armament, making it a tempting target for light UGTO attack ships... if they can catch it, that is.
Role: Missile Boat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam, and 6 Anti-Radar Missiles.
- Gadgets: 2 ECM devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 2 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: Ensign
- Badges Requirement: None
M-41L Patrol Frigate
The M-41L is a light gunship and ideal for engaging other light warships at medium range.
Role: Gunboat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam, 2 Heavy Railguns and 2 Railguns
- Gadgets: 2 ECCM devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 3 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: 2nd Lieutenant
- Badges Requirement: None
M-42A Lance Frigate
The M-42A is a light attack ship excellent for engaging other light warships at close range.
Role: Beamboat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam and 7 Chemical Beam Lasers
- Gadgets: None
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 4 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: 2nd Lieutenant
- Badges Requirement: None
M-41T Torpedo Frigate
The M-41T is a light torpedo ship effective against larger warships, but has to get into close range to attack.
Role: Torpedo Boat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam and 8 Fusion Torpedo Launchers
- Gadgets: 2 ECM Devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 3 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: 2nd Lieutenant
- Badges Requirement: None
M-42B Bomber Frigate
The M-42B, planned and built largely before the latest conflict began, was envisioned as a first-strike weapon for taking out critical industrial targets on UGTO planets. To that end it was equipped with extensive stealth and electronic countermeasure systems to help it penetrate enemy lines and evade detection. In the years of fighting since it has also proven a highly effective raider, able to hit targets the UGTO thinks are safe and force them to divert more ships to garrison duty.
Role: Bomber
- Weapons: 2 Pulse Beams and 2 MiRV Bomb Launchers
- Gadgets: 2 ECM Devices and 1 Scanner
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 2 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: Ensign
- Badges Requirement: None
M-45Y Minelayer Frigate
The Minelayer frigate is one of the most effective frigate designs the ICC has built to date. Its high mobility allows it to deploy its payload ahead of advancing UGTO forces, inflicting crippling damage when they run afoul of the trusty nuclear mines the ICC has been using since its war for independence. In many cases it can drop its mines and jump clear without the enemy ever catching sight of it, resulting in some very frustrated UGTO admirals wondering how the ICC could possibly have deployed minefields all over the sector.
Role: Minelayer
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam and 2 Nuke Mines
- Gadgets: 2 ECM Devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 2 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: Ensign

Tier 2 Frigates
M-44A Assault Frigate
The M-44A is a pure combat frigate, designed for close-range engagements with other light warships. It is one of the ships most readily recognizable to civilians, as it can be seen on regular patrol routes throughout the Confederation. The Assault Frigate has a hard-earned reputation for heroic sacrifice: when the going gets tough, this tough little gunboat gets going, using a spinal heavy beam emplacement and a formidable torpedo battery to harass and stall a superior enemy attack force until reinforcements arrive. It rarely survives to see the victory it helps ensure.
Role: Beam/Torpedo Boat
- Weapons: 6 Fusion Torpedos, 2 Chemical Lasers, and 1 Heavy Chemical Laser
- Gadgets: None
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 3 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: Ensign
- Badges Requirement: Bronze Navigator
M-40L/S Sensor Frigate
The M-40S is a powerful electronic warfare platform, packing enough ECCM to prevent the enemy pulling any dirty tricks. With the arrival of the K'Luth this ship has seen more action than any other Frigate class in the fleet. It has also taken the most casualties, as frigates are just too small and fragile to last long in heavy combat and the M-40S in particular makes for a high-priority target, especially with the K'Luth.
Role: Electronic Warfare
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam, 2 Heavy Gauss Guns, and 1 Gauss Gun
- Gadgets: 6 ECCM Devices and a scanner
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 2 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield

Role: Minelayer/Missile Boat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam, 6 Ion-Tracker Missiles, and 2 Nuke Mine Launchers
- Gadgets: 2 ECM Devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: Ensign
- Badges Requirement: Bronze Navigator
M-48L/M Line Frigate
The M-46ML/M is a long-range gunship. With its combination of high-velocity cannons and long-range missiles it can engage all types of targets from great distance. However, it is vulnerable to close-range attack.
Role: Cannon/Missile Boat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam, 5 Ion-Tracker Missiles, and 3 Heavy Gauss Guns
- Gadgets: 2 ECM Devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 1 Composite armor Plate, and a Pulse Shield

Tier 3 Frigates
M-47L/M-S Sniper Frigate
With the success of the M-239A/L-M Strike Cruiser, the Confederate Navy began looking to extend its tactical style to other hull types. Although there are still determined proponents of the M-401 Strike Dreadnought, the concept was deemed impractical and the study focused its attention on smaller hulls. They eventually settled on the sturdy M-40 frigate hull, but decided that a frigate would stand more to gain with a heavy electronic warfare package than a powerful beam array. The resulting ship is both sneaky and heavily-armed, a combination proven to be highly effective against the UGTO.
Role: Ewar/Cannon/Missile Boat
- Weapons: 1 Pulse Beam, 5 Ion-Tracker Missiles, and 3 Heavy Gauss Guns
- Gadgets: 5 ECM Devices
- Defenses: 4 Active shields, 1 Composite armor Plates, and a Pulse Shield
- Rank Requirement: Admiral
- Badges Requirement: Bronze Navigator
K'luth
Tier 1 Frigates
Beak
The Beak is the standard configuration for Hunters--similar in size and function to human frigates--and carries a heavy gun armament for engaging and destroying enemy Scouts and corvettes. As is the case for most K'luth ships, its frontal firepower is quite heavy but it carries little to the sides and none directly aft. As is also the case for most K'luth ships, if an enemy gets behind it can just cloak to shake them off.
Role: Assault/Gunboat
- Weapons: 1 Point Defense Beam, 4 Heavy Psionic Cannons, and 2 Psionic Cannons
- Gadgets: 2 ECM devices and a Cloaking Device.
- Defenses: 6 Organic armor plates and AHR

Nymph
The Nymph is a heavy attack Hunter, armed with a powerful torpedo battery to let it inflict crippling strikes on larger targets. Like all Hunters it is light on armor, making it something of an eggshell wielding a sledgehammer. Hit-and-fade attacks are the standard operating procedure for this ship, as hanging around anything bigger than it is inviting a world of pain. It operates best when supporting larger K'Luth ships, which can hold the enemy's attention while the deceptively small Nymph delivers a knock-out blow far bigger than its size would suggest possible.
Role: Assault
- Weapons: 1 Point Defense Beam and 11 AM Torpedo Launchers
- Gadgets: 2 ECM devices and a Cloaking Device.
- Defenses: 6 Organic armor plates and AHR

Lamprey
This dangerous little ship is a notorious opportunist. It moves stealthily and sneakily through the battlespace, looking for damaged ships struggling to survive. At the right moment it drops its cloak, drains their energy and hammers them with a spinal assault disruptor and an oversized torpedo battery. If attacked it usually opts to simply cloak, sneak off and pounce on prey elsewhere, rather than try to stand and fight.
