Paris-class heavy frigate

The Paris-class heavy frigate (Hull Classification Symbol: FF) is a light warship manufactured by SinoViet Heavy Machinery for use by the UNSC Navy.
== Specifications ==
At 600 meters in length, the Paris-class is smaller than the Charon-class assault frigate, but is more heavily armed and armored. Due to their heavy armament they can be used both as escorts for larger capital ships and for rapid offensive engagement. The ships are outfitted with an extensive sensor suite that uses a combination of laser and radar scanners for actively detecting and tracking targets, while monitoring surrounding space for anomalous energy sources. Like all UNSC frigate classes, the bridge module has its own life support that will function even if the rest of the ship is crippled.
The Paris-class features two ventral hangar bays that are each capable of launching and retrieving two dropships or other smallcraft, such as shuttle pods.
== Power generation ==
The Paris-class is powered by a pair of F3H Naval fusion reactors. Sublight propulsion is provided by two primary S-400 series, and two secondary K-85 series impulse drives. The ship is equipped with a Starwerx K-2A12 translight engine featuring a Series IV CODEN field generator.
== Armament ==
The primary armament of the Paris-class is a single Mark II, light-coil 45A1C3 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. Secondary weapon systems include four Mk IX 10-inch/45-calibre dual railgun batteries, eighteen anti-ship cruise missile launchers, twelve M2950 Harpoon tactical nuclear missiles, and sixty M800 Brattice PDCs. Defensive measures include 100 centimeters of titanium alloy battleplate, electromagnetic reactive armor, and a sophisticated electronic countermeasure package able to disrupt enemy targeting systems to a significant degree, along with at least two electromagnetic grapple launchers.
In an alternative timestream where the UNSC Defiant made contact with the United Federation of Planets, a number of Paris-class ships were refit with reverse-engineered phase cannons in place of the standard railguns. Later production blocks were fit with phase cannons as standard armament.
