Strident-class heavy frigate
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Strident-class heavy frigate is a type of frigate in service with the UNSC Navy by 2557. They are used not only as escort ships, but also as swift-attack vessels.[1]
Overview
The Strident-class is the most recent addition to the Navy's most prevailing ship type. Up to ten of these ships are stored within the UNSC Infinity's underslung sub-vessel deployment bay. After an initial assault, they are deployed en masse to deliver a final, crushing blow and mopping up any stragglers in the process.[1] Notably, these vessels are equipped with energy shields, a significant development over prior UNSC vessels which had to rely on their Titanium-A battleplate for protection.[2]
