Vehicle:Lancer-class Frigate

"..."

The Lancer-class Frigate is a specialized vessel, constructed and built by the Imperial Mendel through the hybridization of Imperial and Mendel fleet designs and technologies, bearing the stereotypical boxy, heavy front of most Mendel vessels, while have most of the internal workings based on Imperial designs, and crewed by Imperials that have been tasked as "cultural Advisors" to the Mendel. This ships serve in an anti-fighter role for the Imperial-Mendel, and are used by the Empire proper to test out the effectiveness of the Ship Class, hoping that they will be able to work out any bugs or short-comings with the weapon so that future Imperial naval vessels are more useful.

Lancers are fast, nimble, can burn through fighters in no time, and are durable for a ship their size and armor rating, a given from their Mendel armor background.
