STRENGTHS

Medical Frigate - The Bacta-class was designed to provide the Galactic Alliance with a dedicated Medical Frigate and as such it comes equipped with numerous Bacta Tanks, Operating Theaters, Intensive Care Wards as well as a number of additional medical and patient facilities.

Hangar Capacity - Special attention was paid to the design of the vessel to ensure that it had an ample hangar capacity to carry multiple squadrons of Support Craft and Shuttles. The vessel is capable of fielding two full wings of Support Craft - organized into three squadrons per wing.

Heavy Defenses - Due to its nature as a Medical Frigate and placing the care and safety of its patients first, the vessel is heavily defended. Additional shield generators and reinforced hull plating were added to key sections to further increase its defensive capabilities.

​

WEAKNESSES

Unarmed - Increasing the medical capabilities and ensuring the hangar capacity for medical support craft required the removal of all weapon systems from the vessel. Due to this, the Bacta-class Frigate lacks any kind of offensive weaponry that would denote it as a Military Frigate.

Sluggish - The addition of reinforced hull plating and other defensive systems has resulted in an overall lower speed and lessened maneuverability compared to similarly sized Frigates.

Starfighter Escort - Due to the focus on medical support craft, the vessel is incapable of fielding or supporting Starfighter or Bomber squadrons. This often means that the vessel must rely on dedicated Carriers or be issued a Starfighter Escort to fulfill any assistance that may be required.

DESCRIPTION

War comes at a cost and for many that cost is their very lives. In other cases, individuals are left maimed or grievously injured with survival often falling to the seconds that it can take to receive medical care. To ensure that the soldiers of the Galactic Alliance receive the much-needed care to either return them to the front or ensure they have a relatively comfortable life after their service was the purpose of the Bacta-class Medical Frigate. Designed and equipped with multiple medical systems and facilities, the vessel is known to have up to thirty Bacta Tanks operated by 2-1B Surgical Droids as well as a medical computer that further monitors and times treatments as required. This central facility was surrounded by intensive care units, operating theaters, and recovery wards as well as the quarters for the medical staff. The increased focus on the medical capabilities as well as ensuring an ample hangar capacity for support craft required the removal of all weapon systems present in the original design, thus rendering the vessel unarmed. Likewise, as its focus is on the support of medical shuttles and other support craft, it lacks the means and ability to support and deploy Starfighter or Bomber squadrons, forcing it to rely on dedicated carriers or a provided escort for assistance. Furthermore, the addition of reinforced hull plating and further defensive systems has resulted in a noted loss of speed and maneuverability. Ensuring that both the soldiers and the people of the Galactic Alliance have the medical care they require, even more so after the recent Invasion that struck half a dozen Alliance worlds is a priority. The Bacta-class Medical Frigate is the answer to that need, and as more of these vessels slip forth from their moorings in Shipyards across the Galactic Alliance, they are poised to provide that aid. They may not be the first vessels to arrive in a conflict zone, they will, however, be the last to leave those areas, only doing so when the last patient has been cared for.
