Unsc Paris Class Frigate
This article does not meet the wiki's and/or. Contents.Background During the, UNSC frigates were barely considered a match for even the smallest of Covenant warships. Their armor was susceptible to enemy point-defense and, and it is outfitted with substandard weaponry.
Only en masse did the UNSC frigate give any UNSC fleet element an advantage against even inferior numbers of Covenant. By 2552, UNSC frigates designs became more technologically advanced as seen with the.The frigate's speed and maneuvering are its advantage, however, allowing UNSC frigates to provide fire support to other UNSC fighter craft such as or and engage both multiple enemy single ship fighters, such as or, and light enemy warships simultaneously; its speed allows it to put down fire on an enemy ship while being able to avoid a large amount of fire from largely superior.
In addition to this, its small size and role as a troop carrier vessel make it ideal for supporting ground operations in planetside theaters of action, capable of laying down suppressive fire against Covenant ground forces while deploying its complement of aircraft and marines to bolster UNSC forces on the surface.Layout While details between the various classes of UNSC frigate vary, all share the same overall design and layout.Bridge The of the frigate is located in the uppermost part of the ship, in the section at the stern-most tip of the MAC gun shaft. The 's chair is located behind the two primary consoles within the bridge.
There also are numerous other consoles located at the sides of the room. There are four bridge stations: Navigation, Operations, Weapons, and Communications. There are on both sides on the bridge. Modern frigate classes are also equipped with universal on their dorsal and ventral hulls, allowing them to dock with other UNSC vessels.
On top of the bridge is a dish for short-range communication.Midsection The forward midsection of the ship has numerous single ship for or fighter craft like on both sides. A UNSC frigate also possess twelve bays, located in the rear of the ship, which facilitate the deployment of.
Also, spread throughout the frigate's structure are a number of its many escape pod bays.Main hangar Some frigate classes, namely the Charon-class, also have a large loading in their rear section which is capable of extending out of the ship's ventral side to deploy vehicles or cargo directly to the ground. The featured a large rear section which had the capacity of holding several in addition to numerous ground vehicles. These hangar floor elevators have been seen operating in two different modes; the single-sided hinges on the elevator are able to swing down 90° in order to allow aircraft like Pelicans to drop vertically out of the hangar for quick deployment. So far the frigate is the only UNSC warship that has been seen landing and deploying vehicles directly to the surface of a planet (or Halo installation in the Dawn's case).Classes The Navy uses multiple frigate classes. Though they vary in size, armament, and purpose, they all follow some of the same design principles.
The can carry a large complement of troops and vehicles. It is not as heavily armed or armored as other escort vessels of similar design. This belies a role as fleet support and troop carrier, although it is still capable of ship-to-ship combat. The boasts additional titanium-A armor plating and a larger number of point-defense guns than standard frigates, giving it greater capabilities as a fleet support vessel. The is best suited for planetary defense, fleet escort duties, and troop deployment.
It has a smaller complement of vehicles than the Charon class, and less armament than the Paris class, effectively balancing it between troop transportation and fleet support. The is best suited as an escort ship and swift-attack vessel used in large-scale naval space battles. The lacks a MAC spinal mount but has a light MAC on top. Primarily uses directed-energy weapons. Specifications Propulsion Like other ships, the UNSC frigate is powered by thermonuclear fusion reactors which use deuterium (a stable hydrogen isotope) as fuel. The engines almost certainly use the energy obtained from this process to heat some form of reaction propellant which is expelled out of rear-facing exhausts to generate thrust. There are four exhausts visible on frigates; two large and two small.
In addition, the frigate has two sets of forward maneuvering thrusters near the front.UNSC frigates are capable of hovering in an atmosphere and even landing. This is likely accomplished through the use of, although the technology involved has never been elaborated upon.For interstellar voyages, the frigate carries a.Armament. The MAC barrel on a UNSC frigate.A typical UNSC frigate carries the following armament:. 1 which is able to fire one round per charge. The MAC runs between one- and two-thirds of a Frigate's total length.
MACs are typically spinally mounted to a frigate, though they are not on at least one post-war frigate class. 3 serve as heavy ordnance. 40 which carry around thirty missiles per pod, adding up to a total of 1200 missiles. 4-12 function as the last line of defense against and incoming missiles, with the ability to later retract into the vessel. They are used for aerial bombardment on occasion.
The model and amount of guns possessed by each ship varies by class.Crew No precise figures are available regarding the crew of a frigate, although numbers have been speculated. Like larger ships, a detachment of Marines and possibly ODSTs would be present onboard.
The crew number includes deck crews as well as the command crew, Marines, ODSTs, dropship pilots, and technical personnel. The number of personnel a single frigate is capable of housing numbers at least within the thousands. Since many frigates have been seen in ground support roles, it is likely that the complement of Marine and ODST personnel on board is higher in percentage than other ships that are more dedicated to space combat.In was supposedly able to singlehandedly control the frigate to aid and on the, though an auto-pilot function was available with the use of the ship's onboard. An can monitor and regulate all critical functions without human intervention.Superstructure The armor of a frigate is relatively poor compared with that of its larger cousins and counterparts such as the, with only 60cm of. However, due to its relatively light weight, the frigate's strength lies instead in maneuverability and speed. The frigate's relatively wide design is supported by structural support ribs, allowing it to perform orbital incursions.
As of 2558, certain frigates (namely, the 's ten sub-vessels) possess technology.

Heavy frigates are capable of atmospheric maneuvering and are occasionally used by the UNSC for ground-support operations. The Paris class is very fast and maneuverable in space, allowing it to engage hostile vessels while avoiding high volumes of fire from plasma weaponry. Armament Paris-class frigates are more heavily armed than most. Like all frigates in service with the UNSC, the Paris-class' primary armament is a single light. The frigate is also armed with fifty pods which, while ineffective against and vulnerable to Covenant point defenses, has proven potent against enemy armour.
Paris-class frigates have twelve naval coilguns located across the hull. Its additional firepower means that it can easily handle Covenant fighter craft and can hold its own against small Covenant warships, as shown when the heavy frigate engaged the much larger during the. Service history Prior to the of the late 25th century, the concept of a heavy frigate was considered a gross misuse of the UNSC's funding. In the years following the coup d'etat on and the rebels' capture of the, there was much more support for a shake-up of the UNSC's relatively lax and ill-defended fleet. These upgrades would take effect during the disastrous. Several Paris-class heavy frigates saw action during the.
After the Human-Covenant war, numerous Paris-class vessels continued to see service in the with multiple serving as escorts for the.
