Ardent-class fast frigate

Ardent-class fast frigate The Ardent-class fast frigate was a Kuat Drive Yards warship of the Fel Empire and Darth Krayt's Sith Empire.

Characteristics


The Ardent-class frigate was about one-fourth the size of the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyers. They were designed for rapid responses and sacrificed both shielding and armor to increase their speeds and weaponry.

The class had a raised bridge section and three ion drives. They carried Nune-class Imperial shuttles. In overall appearance, the arrowhead-shaped vessels were reminicent of the century-old Acclamator-class.

The frigate's weapons emplacements were reminiscent of past designs, with turbolaser batteries flanking the raised section on each side.

History
The Ardent-class was built several years before the Sith-Imperial War. They were used for spearheading military actions and many officers gained fame commanding such vessels.

An Argent-class frigate carried Captain Mingo Bovark of Roan Fel's loyalists to the Wheel in 137 ABY, for a meeting with Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Core Forces.

At least nine Ardent-class frigates were part of the Outer Rim Third Fleet. Two of these were the Ironstar and the Verpine.
