	Frigate	1 Fed	FRIGATE I	1		A Frigate used to be in naval tradition a class of ship that was smaller than a 3 decked ship, but still capable of considerable firepower. Starfleet's designation of Frigate is in essence a 'Destroyer-type', smaller than a capital Cruiser but with a large arsenal for defensive purposes. Power reserves of Frigates are geared towards speed and agility, enhanced by the light space frame. In tight combat scenarios the Daedalus is an ideal proponent of launching fast attacks, and in such encounters with multi-ship taskforces they would come into their own, manoeuvring quickly whilst flanking the larger Cruisers to lay down cover fire.

	Miranda class	1 Fed	FRIGATE II	6		The Miranda is intended to function in a support role to both Cruisers and Sceience ships. Defensively, the Miranda's blend of speed and firepower make her an excellent counterpart to the Constitution in combat situations. It is equipped with superior engines, and has improved weapons over the Daedalus class. With an upgraded warp core, it responds more quickly to enemy incursions. Enhanced Miranda phasers, torpedoes, shields, and targeting systems greatly augment its combat effectiveness.	Phaser Emitters	Photon Torpedoes
	New Orleans class	1 Fed	FRIGATE III	10		The New Orleans class is a newer, improved brand of durable starship, and a worthy successor to the Miranda. Designed at Utopia Planitia, the New Orleans has strong ties to her Galaxy class big sister project. Utilizing many Galaxy technologies, as well as design themes, it can boast significant improvements in both defence and propulsion efficiency. The New Orleans promises to excel in all areas of general fleet support.	Phaser Arrays	Photon Torpedoes
