Commander-class Heavy Frigate

The Commander-class Heavy Frigate is a frigate-class vessel used by the Gardexian Navy.
==History==
After re-terraforming of the planets glassed by the Covenant during their war with the Covenant, recon teams were dispatched to study the results.Some found very interesting results, including Prothean ruins underneath a terraformed mountain. After similar discoveries were found on other planets in the system, science outposts were made on the ones that were able to sustain life . As a security detail,  a Catalyst-Class Assault Cruiser was was needed with a smaller ship to act as a scientific command center. Apparition-class Corvettes were too small, and Vampire-class Frigates had designs insufficient to refit to serve the scientists' needs.  A scientist who is also a part-time designer for the Ovra Shipyards, by the name of Dr. Xali Gradiala, proposed a blueprint to the Navy that would both serve as a support ship and be able to have a secondary design for laboratory ships. Ten ships were designed, and four with the lab ship were made. These ships were the first to be given new name choices designated from the Navy. For the longest time, all ships were named after the traits or possessions of their gods or famous historical figures. These new names came from settlements on Gardiex, Ovra, and Gallex, while the lab ship was named after great scientific Gardexian minds.
