Entering the territory of ships more specialized for non-civilian use, the frigate is a ship that sees some of the most varied use in the galaxy, and is one of the most economically sound ships for use by corporations. These ships are some of the most recognizable ships around, with the Lancer-Class Flathead Frigate produced by the Tyrion Corporation being one of the best textbook examples of interstellar craft around. Frigates most commonly find themselves outfitted for cargo transportation, border control, or as scientific exploration vessels.
They are the largest ships which can maneuver sub-atmospheric without great difficulty, which gives them a great niche for their size. Armor or plating on these ships is much more resilient, especially on military models, allowing them to survive a few more good shots to the hull before requiring retreat. Weaponry outfitted for Frigates is most often in the form of larger railguns and mass-drivers that can run along the length of the hull, as well as small-scale ordnance. The smallest size crew that can efficiently operate a Frigate would be a crew of 10, but crews often consist of 15 to 20 members.
Length: 140-180 m
Height: 90-115 m
Width: 70-86 m
Of these specifications, the longest dimension shall be treated as the ship's 'length', followed by height, and then width.
