Strengths:
* Shielding - The Kantos Has heavy Molecular Shielding which id projected from a centralized Dome Generator in the center of the ship.
* Armor - The Kantos has thick advanced armor which was developed for larger cruiser type warships.
* Heavy Weapons Load Out - The Kantos is meant to close rapidly into weapons range and bring its heavy firepower to bear on its enemies.
* Unhackable - The Kantos utilizes socket guards and splicing droids to combat electronic warfare attacks.
Weaknesses:
* Poor Maneuverability: The Kantos is meant to move in and stand off against opponent and has a below average maneuverability for a ship of its class and size.

Description: The Kantos is a true War Frigate in that is is built to withstand heavy fire and deliver just as heavy fire in return. It is built with Skirmish lines in mind, and can take on larger cruiser vessels when used in pairs. The bulk of its defensive capabilities comes from its heavy advanced armor which is designed for much larger cruiser grade vessels, Supporting this is the large Molecular Shield generator dome built into the center of the vessel. This regulated its shielding from a central axis and encompasses the entire vessel uniformly making for better shield regulation. Supporting the defensive capabilities are a large bank of Cap Drains and de-ionizers which work to minimize the effects of Ion cannons and EMP based weapons. The Kantos-class also has a series of anti-electronic warfaire Socket guards and splicing droids which keep its systems form being hacked during battle.
Offensively the Kantos is truly a Frigate with teeth. It boasts a formidable array of Turbolasers mounted in quad turrets and two large heavy ion cannons on its prow. Smaller light repeating turbolasers work to support the heavier guns in anti-starship duties and as anti-fighter and corvette interdiction duties. Fast trak quad laser cannons help in anti projectile and anti-fighter duties giving the Kantos-class skirmish line operation capabilities. Rounding out the offensive power of the Kantos-class are two assault grade variable missile tubes. These tubes can chose from a magazine located in the center of the vessel and encased in think shock absorbing plating.. The magazine carries a variety of warheads including
* Assault Concussion Missiles,
* Heavy Incendiary Cluster Missiles,
* Heavy Carbonite Cluster Missiles
* Advanced Homing Cluster Missiles,
* EM-03 Missiles
* Laser-Guided Heavy Cruise Missiles,
* Intruder Missiles
