- System Sniper: The Kolit's capital grade weapons all have long-range modes, which when coupled to targeting data provided by its Metis Sensor Array make it a fairly accurate sniper against distant targets even in heavily jammed battlefields.
- Carrier: The Kolit can carry a full two squadrons of starfighters with it, giving it extended reach and opening up a multitude of tactical options to its operators.
- Fixed Weaponry: Much of the Kolit's firepower is tied up in its Scythe II Spectrum Lasers, which have very limited elevation and transverse by themselves - much of the aiming is performed by pointing the ship at the intended target.
- Low Maneuverability: The Kolit's bow has been reinforced with durasteel to protect it from more damage, but this design also causes it to be a little bit more ungainly than many of its peers.
The Kolit is a light frigate designed to act as an independent patrol ship and convoy escort during peace time and close-line fire support during pitched fleet battles, in many ways echoing the role fulfilled by the classic Nebulon-B Frigate. Like its predecessor, one of the Kolit's greatest strengths is its starfighter complement, which extends its reach during patrols and increases tactical options in large battles. But most people know Kolit more for its advanced weaponry, notably its two prow-mounted Scythe II-class Homing Lasers, which are among the most powerful weapons carried by ships its size in the galaxy. With them, the Kolit can carve through hulls like butter, outright disable opponents, or aid in providing ECM support to larger vessels. The vessel's secondary weapons are similarly versatile and long-ranged - Kolit captains have been known to severely wound similarly-sized opponents before their opponents can even get their own weapons to fire on the Kolit. Kolit's adaptability is probably its greatest asset, providing a large source of flexibility within the Silver Jedi Concord and Directorate fleets.
