A '''frigate''' is a type of [[warship]] in both the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[fleet]]s. | A '''frigate''' is a type of [[warship]] in both the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[fleet]]s. Like their seaborne counterparts, frigates are defined as medium-tonnage vessels, larger than [[corvette]]s, more versatile than [[destroyer]]s and smaller than [[cruiser]]s. | ||
==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
In the | In the UNSC Navy, frigates form the backbone of any fleet or [[battle group]], while cruisers appear to fill a similar role within the Covenant. As their most ubiquitous warship, the UNSC uses frigates in a broad range of roles, ranging from heavy air support to fighter escort and fleet engagements. Some UNSC frigates are equipped with a sizable cargo bay for larger [[D77-TC Pelican|dropships]] and armor complements. The UNSC has also employed [[UNSC light frigate|light frigates]] equipped with stealth systems in a specialized reconnaissance role.<ref>''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', p. 35</ref> Covenant frigates are not as commonly seen as their UNSC counterparts, but one of their roles appears to be escorting larger ships such as [[destroyer]]s or [[carrier]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', p. 145</ref> | ||
