E-Type Frigate

== Overview ==
The E-Type Frigate is the most widely produced warship of the Imperial Merculan Starfleet. Designed as a light attack craft, it is well suited in roles supporting larger Merculan capital ships, using its speed and maneuverability to perform fast attacks. 
== Design and Construction ==
The E-Type Frigate is a heavily modified version of a frigate designed by Exodusblack. It features a widened octagonal-shaped hull which gives mounted weaponry significantly wider firing arcs. The E-Type's main armament consists of its plasma torpedoes, which are suitable against virtually all ship types, accompanied by several light anti-ship turrets whose high rate of fire is well suited against closer targets. The E-Type's 4 powerful sublight ion-engines and its lightweight frame allows for the ship to have incredible maneuverability and speed.

=== Second Hyberian War (2033) ===
The E-Type Frigate played a crucial role in the Second Hyberian War, performing numerous hit-and-run attacks on Hyberian forces. Most notably was during the Hyberian Genocide, where the Hyberian Armada was destroyed by Jovian capital ships and Merculan E-Type Frigates. Category:Vehicles
