User:MasterDeathLi/Beta-class frigate

The Beta-class Frigate is a frigate classification formerly used by ONI, and the United Earth Government, using a Greek letter β, instead of the standard hull classification symbol used on most ships. Used by ONI to test new technology such as Dark matter based sublight drives, engines, and nano technology they were used as light patrol craft in the Ghost Nebula. The Forgotten later rebelled and many of these crafts on board AI revolted and killed the crew members, the ships were then used as warships by the Forgotten.

Design
The Beta-class is 2.4 km long, making it if ever used by the UNSC one the largest patrol ships ever built.

The Beta-class ships were designed primary for patrol, but can also preform anti-piracy and Anti-smuggling operations and can work in the atmosphere of planets. Later the Forgotten used them for patrol, anti-strikecraft roles, and support of ground operations primary shooting down enemy aircraft and transports, they can be used in naval warfare but usually with reinforcements, but they have been shown to hold their own against a Sword of Sanghelios or a UNSC warship for about an hour or two before needing reinforcements or retreating. One in particular Combat Vessel-0012 managed to wipe out a Sword of Sanghelios convoy and destroy two of its escorts and severely damaged a third before being destroyed.

Modifications
The forgotten after die Einheit's rebellion modified the Beta-class along with other UNSC and ONI ships to suit their needs, the crew compartment was removed, and the ships were extensively modified for machines to use Fireteam Red noted the hallways were wider allowing for maintenance drones, and sentinels or defense drones to fly overhead, much of the bridge was reduced as the Smart AI core didn't require much space while many of the computers were automated, some required drones to man them, much of the weapon systems were rewired to be automated and directed by the Smart AI captain.
