The Repulse-class Frigate is used to protect Confederated convoys. The powerful weapons and shields on this ship makes this vessel a formidable escort ship that makes the enemy think twice about attacking convoys. These ships have several docking fixtures for light and medium freighters. Also the Repulse-class has sophisticated sensors and deep-space, multi-frequency antennas, allowing them to function as long-range scouts or relay battle information to a command ship. These powerful ships were commissioned due to the pirate attacks on Confederate shipping in the hayday of Drillaria.

The Repulse comes equipped with powerful hyperdrives and durasteel support structures. Overall this vessel has performed admirably; kill rates have doubled since the ship's inception, which was a few years before the Battle of Drillaria. The Repulse's performance against the pirates have guaranteed continued production and Confederated High Command has begun using these vessels as flagships in lighter lines.
