"With all due respect, you outfitted the fleet with four Deliverance class frigates... don't you think that's a bit over kill? What are you expecting to find?".... "War." -Two unknown admirals to one another regarding the invasion fleet for Hesduros (2562)
Introduction[]
The Deliverance class Attack frigate dwarfs all previous class of frigate and boarders on the classification of light cruiser. At 650m in length, 225m in height, and 250 meters in width the Deliverance class frigate is an imposing piece of artillery. The UNSC Deliverance was prototyped in 2558 and assessed until 2560 when mass production began.
Role[]
The Deliverance class frigate serves as a fleet support vessel capable of debilitating swarms of enemy fighters and combating larger vessels. A Deliverance class frigate can easily hold its own against multiple similar sized vessels whilst defending against endless waves of fighters. The Deliverance has been noted to complement attack fleets best. Expeditionary units on high-risk operations are usually complemented by one for protection. When used in defensive engagements the Deliverance is best used at the front lines where its EMP cannon, fighter waves, and missiles attacks can be most debilitating before being reinforced by larger war ships after the preliminary counter strike. Overall, the frigate is most unconventional during defensive operations due to its profound striking abilities. Deliverance fills the role as an assault frigate making it ideal for fleet support and troop deployment, not to be confused with the expansive carrying capability of the Lancer Class light frigate, but greater than that of the Bantam heavy frigate.
