This is a "stock" example of the main line frigate design used by the Outlands Naval Militia. Some do see service in the Outlands Navy proper, but usually as escorts to the beefier and more powerful destroyers. It started production about 100 years ago, with the last models being built 30 years later, just as a mysterious alien attack wiped out the majority of Outlands infrastructure.
Though formidable, and much larger than other navies' frigates, this ship is not the end all be all of frigate design. Rather, it is a tool perfectly suited for the environment for which it was designed and used. It has decent turret coverage, is able to withstand a tremendous beating while leaving its sizable crew largely protected, all while offering a very good balance between constant firepower and powerful, hard hitting (but slow recharging) weaponry.
This vessel excels at long term patrols, cargo running, and escort duty. It's jump drive is of an ancient but reliable design, and allow quick travel throughout the entire Outlands cluster of systems.
Though they seem to pale in comparison to more modern designs, these ships have served the Outlands well, and it's citizens have shown no desire to replace it.
