Assault Frigate Group
Cambion
| typeID | 32788 |
| Mass | 997,000.00 kg |
| Volume | 16,500.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 150.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 400,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Cambion Blueprint |
| Description | The Cambion is the result of Caldari State Executor Tibus Heth's insistence that modern weapons of war be able to continually outperform previous standardized versions. While that effort is rumored to have been hit-and-miss (resulting in great scientific advances at the cost of a stunning array of misfortunes), it is absolutely undeniable that the Cambion has been one of its great successes, a feat that likely could not have been achieved in a different political milieu. The Cambion is an out-and-out brawler. Taking note from the Merlin – a versatile combat frigate in its own right – this ship is intended to rush in, overheat everything it runs, hit hard with everything it has and get out moments before death can find it. |
Enyo
| typeID | 12044 |
| Mass | 1,053,900.00 kg |
| Volume | 29,500.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 165.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 20,400,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Enyo Blueprint |
| Description | The single-fanged Enyo sports good firepower capability, a missile hardpoint and some extremely strong armor plating, making it one of the best support frigates out there. Ideal for use as point ships to draw enemy fire from more vulnerable friendlies. Developer: Roden Shipyards Roden Shipyards is the fastest growing ship manufacturer in the Federation, thanks to an extremely aggressive R&D division and extensive connections in government and military procurement communities. Roden ships are distinguished by strong armor defenses and excellent electronic capabilities. They also tend towards gunboats with exceptional range and tracking systems, and less reliance on drones than the average Federation warship. |
Freki
| typeID | 32207 |
| Mass | 1,309,000.00 kg |
| Volume | 27,289.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 165.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 4,500,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Freki Blueprint |
| Description | Developed along with the first wave of Minmatar assault frigates but later abandoned due to cost, the Freki is known for its extremely well designed warp core that enables it to arrive first on the scene to snare and eliminate its target. It is rarely seen on the battlefield, as only a limited number have ever gone into production. It is usually given to pilots as a reward for their excellence in combat. |
Geri
| typeID | 74141 |
| Mass | 1,309,000.00 kg |
| Volume | 27,289.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 260.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 18,100,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Description | The Geri was originally the product of a development program that involved the eccentric and often clashing talents of Tapio Histvaari, Core Complexion's Chief of Missile Systems Development, and Hildara Rostavik, Core's Lead Designer of Autonomous Weapons. The program was an effort to cram as much missile firepower as possible into the Bestla heavy assault cruiser, and its Geri assault frigate counterpart, while also supporting the sophisticated control routines and bandwidth to operate stasis webification drones with massively uprated systems. Despite serious personality clashes between the Caldari missiles expert Histvaari and Minmatar drone designer Rostavik, the Geri was brilliantly redesigned from its basic Rifter-hull format into an incredibly advanced, and incredibly expensive, assault frigate. While the performance of the Geri's missiles and stasis drones was far above anything achieved in combination in such a compact format, the Republic Fleet balked at the prospect of paying for whole squadrons made up of the Geri and the similarly expensive Bestla. Although a few Geris are maintained by elite special tasks units of the Republic, a significant number of the initial production run were donated as prizes to the Independent Gaming Commission's Alliance Tournament XVIII by the Minmatar when the Republic became the principal sponsor of the event in YC124. |

Harpy
| typeID | 11381 |
| Mass | 1,039,500.00 kg |
| Volume | 16,500.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 165.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 22,600,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Harpy Blueprint |
| Description | Already possessing a reputation despite its limited initial circulation, the Harpy is a powerful railgun platform with long range capability and strong defensive systems. Formidable both one-on-one and as a support ship, it was referred to as the "little Moa" by the pilots who participated in its safety and performance testing. Developer: Ishukone Ishukone created the Harpy as a long-range support frigate for defense of Ishukone holdings as well as increased muscle and visibility in the constantly shifting game of cold war the Caldari megacorps' police forces play amongst themselves. |
Hawk
| typeID | 11379 |
| Mass | 1,095,300.00 kg |
| Volume | 16,500.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 300.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 21,500,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Hawk Blueprint |
| Description | Following in the footsteps of Caldari vessels since time immemorial, the Hawk relies on tremendously powerful shield systems to see it through combat, blending launchers and turrets to provide for a powerful, well-rounded combat vessel. Developer: Lai Dai Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships but providing very little in terms of tactical specialization. |
Ishkur
| typeID | 12042 |
| Mass | 1,094,400.00 kg |
| Volume | 29,500.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 165.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 21,800,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Ishkur Blueprint |
| Description | Specialized as a frigate-class drone carrier, the Ishkur carries less in the way of firepower than most other Gallente gunboats. With a fully stocked complement of drones and a skilled pilot, however, no one should make the mistake of thinking this vessel easy prey. Developer: CreoDron As the largest drone developer and manufacturer in space, CreoDron has a vested interest in drone carriers. While sacrificing relatively little in the way of defensive capability, the Ishkur can chew its way through surprisingly strong opponents - provided, of course, that the pilot uses top-of-the-line CreoDron drones. |
Jaguar
| typeID | 11400 |
| Mass | 1,229,400.00 kg |
| Volume | 27,289.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 130.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 18,100,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Jaguar Blueprint |
| Description | The Jaguar is a fast and versatile missile platform boasting strong shield systems and substantial utility. It follows in the footsteps of the more affordable Breacher frigate, which has become a reliable staple in the Minmatar arsenal. Developer: Core Complexion Inc. The Jaguar was originally developed by Thukker Mix as a skirmish platform but improvements to engine efficiency in assault craft brought the competing Wolf assault frigate up to parity in speed. The Thukker considered an even faster propulsion system for the Jaguar, but ultimately chose to sell the design to Core Complexion Inc. Eager to make an impression in this market, Core Complexion have revised the Jaguar's role, replacing its hardpoints and shifting focus from speed to shields. |
Malice
| typeID | 3516 |
| Mass | 1,271,000.00 kg |
| Volume | 28,600.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 210.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 16,100,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Malice Blueprint |
| Description | The Malice is an assault frigate design exclusively commissioned as a reward in the ninth Alliance Tournament. Sporting custom metal alloys in its plated carapace, it is one of the most expensive ships ever produced in its class. Far from being a mere ornament, though, the Malice features quality armament systems, strong defensive plating and a massive capacitor, and its vastly augmented facility for energy destabilization makes it a formidable adversary in any engagement. |
Nergal
| typeID | 52250 |
| Mass | 1,043,000.00 kg |
| Volume | 28,600.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 250.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 187,300,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Nergal Blueprint |
| Description | Adapting the Collective's Damavik-class frigate design, the Nergal's basic premise is to turn the Triglavian light hull into an assault frigate that builds on the powerful capabilities of the core ship frame. The Nergal has been modified using a variety of designs but draws principally from the popular Enyo-class assault frigate, using the Triglavian energy systems and the light entropic disintegrator capacity create a fearsome attack ship. As an assault frigate, the Nergal has improved microwarpdrive signature radius damping and can use an assault damage control for enhanced defense. This compact brawler also benefits from increased entropic disintegrator range and damage, while its Triglavian core systems give it advantages in the use of energy neutralizer and pulse weapons, as well as remote armor repairers. "Refitting the core Damavik hull type with the Enyo's assault modifications was relatively straightforward due to the larger size of the ship's frame. We were also able to install improved drone bays and control bandwidth. A note on drones: one of our technicians improperly accessed a locked out section of the Triglavian encryption database and inadvertently activated a dormant subversion routine. Damage to the testbed was extensive. Unfortunately, no disciplinary action is necessary and next of kin have been informed according to cover protocols. The Navy R&D Board should consider notifying the CreoDron research group to take extra precautions." – excerpt from a report for the Federal Navy from Roden Shipyards Precursor Technology Research Group |

Retribution
| typeID | 11393 |
| Mass | 1,053,900.00 kg |
| Volume | 28,600.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 135.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 21,000,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Retribution Blueprint |
| Description | The Retribution is an homage to the glory days of the Empire, informed by classical Amarrian design philosophy: if it's strong, sturdy and packs a punch, it's ready for action. What this powerhouse lacks in speed and maneuverability it more than makes up for with its wide range of firepower possibilities and superb defensive ability. Developer: Carthum Conglomerate Carthum ships are the very embodiment of the Amarrian warfare philosophy. Possessing sturdy armor and advanced weapon system they provide a nice mix of offense and defense. |
Shapash
| typeID | 78414 |
| Mass | 1,054,000.00 kg |
| Volume | 29,500.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 165.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 200,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Description | Following reports that the Federation government had commissioned a limited run of a novel assault frigate based on the Utu from Duvolle Labs as prizes for the Independent Gaming Commission's Alliance Tournament XIX in YC125, the CreoDron board leveled a freedom of information claim which quickly returned a surprising volume of documents. While the majority have been fully redacted, what little can be gleaned dates the design of the Shapash to a YC120 contract authorized by the FIO for a series of joint operations with Crux Special Tasks Group and the Ostrakon Agency classified under "Project Trieste". The Shapash was developed by a provisional team under Duvolle's Advanced Manifold Theory Unit co-led by Rias Luisauir, prodigious R&D agent and engineer, and Progressive Plasma's Dr. Jinneth Duvolle, original co-founder of Duvolle Labs. Afforded a near-bottomless budget to design a platform suitable for locales where reinforcement would be impossible and return imperative, the two leads took full advantage of this unique opportunity to bring their most revolutionary and cost-prohibitive theories into reality as part of the designs. A reverse-ballast function devised by Luisauir, based on the micro jump drive's ultraweak force-compensated mass phase-tuning principle, negates armor plate mass gain by scaling microscale depleted vacuum volumes with the ship's mass in-flight, while a plasma cooling system designed by Dr. Jinneth boosts the operational threshold of hybrid turrets and armor repairers as well as the overload limit of propulsion modules. Combined with a substitution of the Utu's drone capabilities for potent hybrid hardpoints and the incorporation of assault frigate subsystems, the Shapash is a priceless force to be reckoned with. |

| Base Price | 200,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Utu Blueprint |
| Description | The Utu is a highly advanced drone platform specially commissioned for the 8th Alliance Tournament. While based on the Ishkur's design, this ship features design elements that go above and beyond the original blueprint. In addition to revolutionary heat dispersion field projectors, the Utu is equipped with cutting-edge hardwired drone protocols and upgraded warp scrambling capability. Combined with the sturdy armor plating, these qualities make the Utu a powerful ally in any combat encounter. |
Vengeance
| typeID | 11365 |
| Mass | 1,046,700.00 kg |
| Volume | 28,600.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 210.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 19,800,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Vengeance Blueprint |
| Description | The Vengeance represents the latest in the Kingdom's ongoing mission to wed Amarr and Caldari tech, molding the two into new and exciting forms. Sporting a Caldari ship's launcher hardpoints as well as an Amarr ship's armor systems, this relentless slugger is perfect for when you need to get up close and personal. Developer: Khanid Innovation Constantly striving to combine the best of two worlds, Khanid Innovation have utilized their Caldari connections to such an extent that the Kingdom's ships now possess the most advanced missile systems outside Caldari space, as well as fairly robust electronics systems. |
Wolf
| typeID | 11371 |
| Mass | 1,178,100.00 kg |
| Volume | 27,289.00 m³ |
| Capacity | 165.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 18,900,000.00 ISK |
| Category | Assault Frigate |
| Produced By | Wolf Blueprint |
| Description | Named after a mythical beast renowned for its voraciousness, the Wolf is one of the most potentially destructive frigates currently in existence. While hardier than its brother the Jaguar it has less in the way of shield systems, and the capabilities of its onboard computer leave something to be desired. Nevertheless, the mere sight of a locked and loaded Wolf should be enough to make most pilots turn tail and flee. Developer: Boundless Creation Boundless Creation's ships are based on the Brutor tribe's philosophy of warfare: simply fit as much firepower onto your ship as possible. Defense systems and electronics arrays therefore take a back seat to sheer annihilative potential. |
