Vanguard-class Heavy Frigate

The Vanguard-class Heavy Frigate is the first in line of modern frigates. While it is agile and nimble, it can still pack a punch. It utilizes fire linked weapons as well as heavy weaponry. It also utilizes the new MIST system, and can effectively hold off fighters with its lighter anti fighter powered lasers. Its pulsemass generators allows the ship to act as a limited form of interdictor as well.
