Description: The C-9980-class frigate was redesigned to be able to fit more weapons so that it can be used as a decoy and escort for its C-9979 brothers, much like the Hardcell-Xs were able to act as anti-starfighter escort for Hardcells. As a result, it suffers from reduced transportation ability. Its wingtips each contain one heavy proton torpedo launcher, worth 5 regular proton torpedo launchers, outfitted by default with Morcus heavy proton torpedoes but can otherwise fire other heavy proton torpedoes. Nevertheless, it can provide some capacity to land troops, albeit at a greatly reduced rate: only about 15% of the original transportation capacity of the C-9979 has been retained, with the remaining 85% of the capacity being taken up mostly by tactical systems and crew quarters. With the refits undertaken in Silver Jedi service, the C-9980s in today's service are quite different from its original incarnation.

In addition, refits have been ordered by the Silver Jedi Navy, the primary operator of the C-9980s, with its weapons suite having been modified and only the original missile launchers being retained, and also an anti-concussion field generator having been added.
