Guandao class

==Description==
The Guanado class was an early frigate model designed by shipwrights of the Capellan Confederation. It was meant to engage hostile warships attempting to engage the larger Du Shi Wang class battleships from the flanks and rear, to keep hostile fighters and dropships from engaging the larger warships of the Capellan fleet, and to escort convoys through contested or pirate infested areas. 4 were still in service when the First Succession War broke out and another 5 were recommissioned from storage but none survived the conflict with the final pair being lost alongside the last of the Capellan controlled Du Shi Wang class vessels.
==Armament==
For Anti-warship purposes the Gunando class has a single heavy Naval PPC, 3 NL35s and an NL45 in the nose. The fore and aft left and right bays each contain a NL45 and an NL35 while each broadside bay carries a medium Naval PPC, and 2 NL45s. Finally the aft bay contains one medium Naval PPC, and 2 NL45s Each bay also carries a single PPC, and pairs of medium and large lasers for use against hostile fighters.
==Cargo==
Fully loaded the vessel carries 12 aerospace fighters with 6 launch doors and 225,064 tons of cargo
==Variants==
After being decomissioned some were used as test beds for new technologies such as double heatsinks and improved armor types
==What if Warships remained?==
In this setting more Guanado class vessels were reactivated during the First Succession War. After that war the class became a popular Capellan export vessel becoming common among Mercenary units that have served the Capellans, pirate bands and rebels in the Capellan March
