Anlace-class light frigate: Difference between revisions

Offensively, the ''Anlace''-class differes significantly from other contemporary frigate classes such as the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}. Unlike such models, the Anlace lacks a large spinal mount for a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]<ref>[[Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview]]</ref> and [[missile]] pods in the most common configuration. Instead, it relies on [[directed energy weapon]]s for sustained combat operations between resupply.<ref name="cits"/> Nevertheless, a modest MAC is built atop the frigate, mounted further back than on other models.<ref name="Loftus1"/>

In the aftermath of the [[Human-Covenant War]], hundreds of ''Anlace'' and {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s are being assembled in the shipyards above [[Mars]] and [[Tribute]] to replace combat losses and engage [[Covenant remnants|remnants]] of the [[Covenant]] still occupying the [[Outer Colonies]].<ref name="wf38"/>

{{UNSCShip|Infinity}} is capable of carrying a small [[fleet]] of ten frigates of either the ''Anlance'' or ''Strident'' class in its sub-vessel bays.<ref name="wf42">''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 42-43</ref> Some ''Anlace'' frigates were deployed by the UNSC ''Infinity'' during the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] in [[2558|October 2558]].<ref name="cits"/>
