However engineers didn't make space for nuclear weapons, because they considered them useless since the class wasn't conceived to fight Covenant opponent alone. Other than that, creators implemented an active phase sensor array and they separated the bridge from the rest of the hull, allowing it to have its own life support, which could be work even if the entire hull was crippled.
But, to avoid a Paris-class' clone, as well as to design a too weak frigate just like the Charon, engineers made a balanced frigate, half a Paris and half a Charon as someone asserted, with an incredible agility and speed capable of rivaling UNSC corvettes. However, Sinoviet and the newly-appointed leader Samantha Powell had already charging naval architects to developed a new frigate capable of fulfilling a wide variety of role, in order to achieve a new order after the Epoch-class heavy carrier: Powell knew the Charon lack of effectiveness as a escort ships, but she also knew the Paris high upkeep costs.ĭavid Pulver and Eugene Taylor, so, developed a well-armed, yet light, frigate with a similar profile to that of Paris-class, so containing some costs. Capable, in mass, to pose a threat to Covenant destroyers, it continued to serve in the Navy beyond the end of the war, especially after Sinoviet Heavy Machinery proposed a new batch with many improvements, increasing its already high effectiveness.Īfter the first year of fight against Covenant, Vice Admiral Cole and a small group of flag officers noted that only the Paris-class heavy frigate had some effect as escort vessels, while Charons were systematically outgunned by even the lightest Covenant ship. Introduced in service on January, 2526, approximately one year after the start of the Great War, it took part to final battles around Harvest and, since then, it supplanted the Charon-class light frigate in fleet escort duties, thanks to its extensive anti-air weapons and a light, but precise, MAC gun. Conceived in the years of the Harvest Campaign, it was introduced as a general-purpose light warship capable of fulfilling a wide variety of support roles, mainly planetary defense and troop transportation. The most balanced UNSC frigate, the Stalwart-class light frigate is a escort vessel in service with UNSC Navy.
