The New Republic Assault Frigate is a ship that were once Imperial Dreadnaught heavy cruisers, which have been painstakingly and cleverly modified to create combat ships that measure some 700 meters in length. The original Imperial ships required a crew of 16,000, but the Alliance's retooling of the the ships, replacing humans with droids, and computers has reduced the crew by 2/3. The Alliance also removed tons of the ships superstructure to make room for increased engine capacity, while lowering the engines fuel consumption. They added two solar fins which has made the assault frigates faster and more manuverable. The frigates are usally capable of carrying 100 troops, or 7,500 metric tons of cargo. These ships are capable of carrying a modified assault shuttle piggyback atop their superstructure, while the ships twenty umbilical tubes can be used for light freighters and starfighters. The assault frigates are most of the time armed with 15 regular and 20 quad laser cannons, along with 15 turbolaser batteries. These frigates have played a very important role in the Alliance's fight against the Empire and in the New Republic's peace keeping efforts by patrolling areas like of that in the Borderlands Regions. | |
