Argos-Class Frigate

Argos-Class Frigates are fast and maneuverable space vessels manufactured and used by the United Galactic Alliance starting in 2594. They are defended by light energy shielding and an ablative plating which also cloaks them from enemy sensors. Argos Frigates are incredibly fast and can evade most simple homing projectiles easily. Adding to the difficulty in downing one is the ships ability to create an electromagnetic pulse which renders homing devices useless.

An Argos Frigate can go on the attack with Talon Rockets which can destroy fighters and penetrate unshielded vessels. They also have a few plasma torpedoes which allow it to be a threat against shielded vessels. It's most effective weapon is it's AURORA Energy Weapon which can cut through shields and armor, making it a threat to even cruisers.
