The Grimm Frigate is the most common type of naval vessel that the Grimm Legion has. They are in no ways standardized and it is not uncommon to see some that look entirely different. The one shown is the most common, and is related to the main faction of the Grimm AI, the Grimm Legion.
Due to the nature of the Grimm Legion, doing mostly raids and quick ground assaults, this craft was designed with this in mind. This Frigate measures in at 850 meters long, and is much smaller than New Covenant Counter-parts and most likely closer in size to other Empires ships of similar size. These ships are mass produced, in numbers exceeding other navies, and they use wolf pack tactics to take on larger craft.
They are also designed to fly in atmosphere as well to deploy units, and micro factories for building units. It is effectively a huge drop ship, with star ship class weaponry. It is very fast, light though efficient in its armor design to maximize protection while limiting resource use, combined with magnetic shielding giving it an edge against magnetic and plasma weaponry, while relying on its armor for other types of weapons.
Armor
The armor uses advanced New Covenant techniques to keep the structure sound when taking damage, so it makes use of angling to help disperse if not deflect oncoming projectiles, and effective distribution of kinetic energy along the hull. It uses advanced alloys in keeping the armor light and effective, it makes heavy use of Carbon-Nanotube weaving, and a adaptive gel dispersal layer, much like the Smaller Stalker fighter. The armor makes use of heavy amounts of magnetism to disperse plasma, and to redirect or slow down metallic projectiles, it has been know to redirect magnetic projectiles back to enemy ships when clumps of these frigates are near each other enhancing each others Mag fields.
