Corona-class Frigate

The Corona-class Frigate is a new incarnation of the venerable Nebulon class of frigates. The hull is slightly longer than a Nebulon-B2 frigate, yet shorter than a Nebulon-B. With the armament mounted on the hull, it is a match in firepower with the original Nebulon-B, however the much improved shielding and hull strength gives it an advantage in battle even over the better-armed Nebulon-B2. This vessel's high level of automation allows it to function at high efficiency with three quarters the crew of the other Nebulon frigates. The vessel's speed is also on a par with the fastest capital ships in the fleet.
