Hercules Class Escort Frigate

Mainly used as light support for most fleets, the Hercules Class is renowned for its high speed and reliability. Needing very little maintenance the frigate can take a tremendous amount of punishment with very little adverse effect on its main systems. While not having the offensive capability of the Perceus Class Frigate it should never be overlooked by any fleet commander as its four 88mm Hydra Cannons are highly effective at taking out incoming torpedoes before they hit any capital ships.
