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.


UGTO

ST-15 Bomber Frigate

The ST-15 frigates are designed for covert ship-to-surface munitions delivery, utilizing electronic warfare to conceal themselves and ensure their payload reaches the target. In most cases the first -- and only -- warning the unsuspecting populace below gets is when the bombs start hitting their colony hub. [incomplete]

ICC

M-40S Sensor Frigate

The M-40S is a powerful electronic warfare platform, packing enough ECCM to prevent the enemy pulling any dirty tricks. This makes it a priority target, so it carries a decent armament to defend itself with. With the arrival of the K'luth this ship has seen more action than any other single class in the fleet, though it has also taken heavy casualties, as frigates are just too small and fragile to last long in heavy combat, especially with the K'luth.

Role: Sniper/Electronic Warfare

  • Weapons: 2 Chemical beam lasers, 1 Gauss gun, and 2 Heavy Gauss guns
  • Gadgets: 4 ECCM devices and a Scanner.
  • Defenses: 4 Active shields and 2 Composite armor plates.
  • Rank Requirement: Midshipman
  • Badges required: 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
