===Armament===
===Armament===
The frigate's primary armament consists of a [[Brightlance reflex laser]]. When firing, the weapon must charge before emitting a short blue beam. Unlike traditional MACs, the weapon is not fired from a barrel and firing mechanism amid one of the frigate's hulls, but instead from between the dual hulls. The frigate boasts several [[point-defense gun]]s and [[Archer missile]] pods for secondary armaments.

The frigate boasts twenty [[Archer missile|M58 Archer missile pods]] as a secondary armament, and twelve [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s for point-defence.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
===Development history===
The ''Mulsanne''-class was created by [[SinoViet Heavy Machinery]], by naval architects [[Bernard Kristensen]] and [[Jacques Thomas]], and launched in [[2553]]. When launched, the frigate represented a new generation of [[UNSC starship]] design, integrating the most recent innovations in shipbuilding and weaponry such as [[directed energy weapon]]s as the primary cannon instead of a more traditional [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
===Usage===
''Mulsanne'' frigates fill a similar role to the older {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}, optimised for swift offensive strikes and thus carrying a diverse weapons complement. As such, it is considered one of the most adaptable warships in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
