The IFW Kantos-class is a very average vessel and fills one role, Escort. It is designed to escort larger ships and convoys and prtect them from attack on any scale from capital vessels to missiles and torpedoes. 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 keep the ship in touch with its allies and can communicate at long ranges with holographic, visual and audio communications.
The IFW Kantos-class Escort Frigate is powered by a Proton-8 reactors. This reactor set in the aft of the ship just behind the hanger. 10 Quad Turbolaser Cannon Turrets make up the main batteries of the The IFW Kantos-class Esort Frigate. 20 Light Turbolaser Cannon Turrets offered Anti-vessel, anti-vehicle and anti-aircraft defense. 20 Hexlaser Turrets offered anti-attack craft defense and assisted the 20 CIWS Turrets against incoming projectiles. 20 Point Defense Light Ion Cannon Turrets worked with the point defense lasers giving the vessel anti-droid and attack craft defense. The 12 Anvil-class Missile Batteries gave the IFW Kantos class offensive and defensive power in onepackage. 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.
Defensively the IFW Kantos-class Escort Frigate had a quad reinforced IFW Ferrofaraday Starship Frame reinforced by quadranium bracing. The hull was made of EMNERA Star Ship Armor Plating On top of the under armor a layer of Matrix Armor Plating was laid down to give the vessel formidable protection from energy, heat, radiation, ion and projectile attacks. a powerful IFW-76x Fortress Shield Projectors installed amidships inside the vessels hull.
