Synopsis: In accordance with the desire of the Fleet Commander that several of the Fleet's Frigates be upgraded to carry out ground assault, the EH Modified Frigate has been lengthened to add additional space for such a mission. The Hangar bay was cut to 2/3 of it's normal size resulting in the loss of one squadron of TIE fighters. Shadow Works' designers felt that this has been more than made up for by the addition of superior craft. The powerplant was removed and replaced with an enhanced version to provide additional power for the Heavy Turbolaser batteries that were added. Also, the original lasers have been replaced with a newer model having better fire control. This makes the frigate less susceptible to the attacks of starfighters, especially the B-Wing starfighter, designed to be a frigate killer. Shields and armour were also enhanced. Overall, the frigate has been made so that two could engage and destroy a MC-80. A Frigate coupled with a VSD would also be a formidable force. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
