The Pelta-class Refit is a highly modular frigate design once used by the Galactic Republic during the ancient Clone Wars and built by the Kuat Drive Yards of yore. In ancient times it came in only variations. Medical and Cargo. However, when an escort design became available for refit construction it was easily applied and constructed using this very adaptable starship schematic. The Pelta-class lending itself to easy rewiring, quick energy distribution, well spaced compartments, and it's general appliance layout, due to it's already highly modular nature and design. Making for quick work at applying the wide array of guns and equipment that an escort vessel would invariably need to prosper.
The Pelta-class Refit also features a large crew, multiple escape pods, a vast cargo capacity, an entire squadron of Astromech assistants, and an easy-to-access vehicle hanger. All the while also featuring state-of-the-art ergonomics and leather cabin upholstery. The on-board security systems also include a wireless monitoring system, password-protected door panels, an electronic warfare software suite, and firewall enabled computer access. All of which are considered mandatory innovations for our vast and ever expanding technological future. As a sidenote, the physical landing gear of older models has also been removed in favor of a more modern repulsar lift array.
The primary combat role of this vessel is anti-starfighter defense and it's equipment, armor, shield strength, and weapon diversity reflect this specialization in all aspects of it's design. When compared to a standard Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, the larger turbolaser batteries are swapped out for point defense cannons in effort to ward against incoming starfighter missile projectiles.
