Resistance Frigates

undefined

As with Resistance cruisers, Resistance frigates are essentially impossible to categorise into individual classes. This is due not only to the wide variety of warship manufacturers that existed in pre-Scourge days, but also because many Resistance frigates are actually civilian vessels that have had weapons added.

Regardless of the capabilities of a given ship, all Resistance frigates are faster than a cruiser and are often used to seek and destroy key enemy vessels early in an engagement, protecting more important ships in the fleet. They may also be outfitted with sensor domes, giving Resistance fleets early warning of an enemy presence or enabling them to spot for larger ships.

Resistance Strike Carriers
Strike carriers operated by the Resistance are essentially no different from their non-carrier counterparts, save for the presence of a hangar that allows them to deploy dropships. Resistance strike carriers are often left unarmed save the most basic of weaponry, a stark contrast to most other ships of the same class.

Heavy Frigates
Though heavy frigates are no longer produced by the UCMF due to their high cost and the drain of dual weapon systems on engine power, plenty were produced in the pre-war era and have since found their way into the hands of Resistance fleets. These vessels are more heavily-armoured than the lighter frigates, and generally better armed as well.
