Description: The Gulandi-class escort frigate is a unique addition to The Primeval's arsenal. Unlike any other warship produced by The Primeval Fleet, the Gulandi-class has a full emphasis on support over assault boasting more defensive weapons than offensive ones. In fact besides four turbolaser turrets and two missile launchers the rest of the weapons attached to this warship's hull are all defensive. That doesn't mean this ship cannot pack a punch, however.
In its own way the Gulandi-class is a deadly adversary to starfighters, bombers, and capital killers. Its point defense cannons and auto turrets are more than enough to prevent light attack craft from assaulting the capital ships which this class escorts. Against larger vessels the assault concussion missiles are especially dangerous, with only a handful required to take out an enemy warship in most cases. With a sturdy hull and advanced shields the frigate will also be able to take a punch as well, withstanding assaults until the bitter end. All this defensive and support potential has its costs as with any ship, its small size means the reactor is already powering more than it should so sacrifices were made to the engine quality giving this ship rather slow speeds and maneuverability for a frigate.
