Cyclops-class Missile Frigate

Class Overview
The Cyclops-class frigate employed and manufactured by the BDA of the semi-independent colonial state of Barrow is 350m long and acts as a missile frigate. While equipped with rail gun point defense cannons the vessels does not feature a primary MAC. As the cheapest vessel within the BDA its also the most abundant and forms the backbone of the BDASC which fields twenty Cyclops-class Frigates. Forming the backbone of the BDA fleet Cyclops are cheap and in later renditions regarded as highly reliable. The lack of stress the vessels endure lacking a MAC allows them to outlast the competition and with a massive missile armament the Cyclops can, if given the chance, take down like sized unshielded prey with ease.

Unfortunately against shielded opponents the Cyclops must rely on its Bowman missiles to deplete the enemies shields before delivering its devastating volley of deep hull penetrating missiles. Typically a single medium scale MAC will disable a Cyclops immediately if not shortly after complimentary fire support.
