Vanguard-class Light Frigate

Successor to the popular , the Vanguard-class Light Frigate is a light, agile warship, designed for high endurance, and possessing advance electronic warfare technology. The novel design of the Anlace includes a lifting body and engines designed for use in-atmosphere. It is armed with an abundance of energy weapons, removing most of the reliance on ammunition, and it also serves as the largest UNSC warship without a spinal-mounted MAC. Recent additions have also included electronic warfare modules, designed to include offensive modules for hampering the enemy’s ability to coordinate and counter-attack. Usually mixed in with squadrons of heavier ships, it provides electronic coverage, and volleys of laser and plasma fire on the offensive.
