Freedom-class Frigate

The Freedom-class is a class of small, fast frigates formerly used by The Alliance and later, Trident Industries. They were taken out of service around July 2313 and are now inactive.
== Description ==
A typical Freedom-class was 110 meters long and had many turrets and weapons covering the hull, though this tended to differ greatly among the early Alliance fleets. They have a classic long, thin forward hull widening out into two large pods that hold the ship's engines and energy missile launchers. 
== History ==
Jake Lancia constructed the vessel based on stolen plans from the Infinite Havoc Galaxy in early 2313. He brought the plans into the Nass Galaxies and constructed two Gen1 Freedoms to defend the claimed planet Vergesso. 
The ships were absorbed into Trident Industries when The Alliance merged with Cobolt, and were immediately put to use alongside former Cobolt ships such as Dreadnought-class frigates, Origins-class frigates and Hyperion-class corvettes.
When the Quantum-class came into service however, these ships quickly fell out of favour, as the new ships had far more firepower and defence in a similarly sized package, and were retired completely in July.
== Usage ==
The Freedom has, in addition to it's standard role as light frigate, been used in the following roles:
* Defence ship
* Command ship
* Diplomatic vessel
* Testbed
