The Insurrection-class frigate was constructed to meet the need for a fast, powerful, but economical light ship. Once some initial flaws were fixed, the ship soon exceeded all expectations. Not only is the ship fast, it boasts remarkable firepower for a ship it's size, and is a very rugged craft that can take far more abuse than one might think.
It's primary weapons are two heavy plasma cannons, which, while slow firing, can easily punch through any armor and cause huge damage to systems inside. These weapons drain huge chunks of the ships power, so they are best used sparingly. supporting them are two laser cannons and two multiple-launch heat-seeking missile batteries. It also carries two turreted laser cannons.
For defense it has an anti-missile turret on the top and bottom, that can intercept missiles from almost any angle. It sports good shields and standard armor for direct protection from damage. It also has an engine overdrive module and reasonably fast charging hyperdrive. The overdrive system can be powered indefinitely, but it is reccomended that it be turned off while the main guns are in use, as between them the ships power reserves will be drained rapidly.
This ship is ideal for scouting, combating pirates, and escort duty, as it can rapidly reach areas where it is needed. It can also succeed supporting larger capital ships in fleet battles, where its main guns can be used to good effect.
