STRENGTHS
- Good Firepower - Powerful energy weapons and variable missile batteries provide the class with formidable offensive power.

- Small Hanger Capacity - The class has a small hanger for a single attack craft squadron
The Kantos-class is a medium-range warship designed as a heavy escort and stand alone patrol vessel Armed with a mix of Turbolaser weapons and advanced missile batteries the Heavy frigate provides fire support for smaller skirmish lines and operates defensively protecting priority targets from capital vessels and attack raft.
A small hanger has been placed amidships and can house repair and maintain a full squadron of attack craft. Space for two larger visiting craft in the center of the hanger allows for cargo and supply craft and freighters to land when needed. A standard suite of sensors and targeting systems track and identify targets and feed them to the vessels targeting computers. Standard communications systems including laser communications equipment, keep the ship in touch with its allies and can communicate at long ranges with holographic, visual, and audio communications.
The Kantos-class Heavy Frigate is powered by a single Proton-8 reactors. This reactor set in the aft of the ship just behind the hanger. Quad Turbolaser Cannon Turrets make up the main batteries of the Kantos-class heavy Frigate. Double Turbolaser Cannon Turrets mounted on the aft of the ship give the Kantos-class good firepower to the aft section of the vessel. Anvil-class Missile Batteries gave the IFW Kantos class offensive and defensive power in one package. These launchers could fire any combination of projectiles from its internal warhead magazine. Automatic loading systems selected the appropriate warhead delivery system and loaded the launcher. The magazine carried a variety of warheads. The powerful launchers recess into armored compartments for protection when not in use. When needed the compartment bays open and the launchers can be extended. The launchers must recess into their armored compartments to be loaded with a different ordinance type making it somewhat slower to reload when changing ordinance types. Defensively the Kantos utilizes the lastest in MCS defensive weaponry. Lasser batteries equipped with four fast track quadlaser cannons offer anti-fighter protection. Interceptor defense batteries offer a wide variety of defensive ordinance to be used against any threat the vessel may experience.
