Overview

The Hellfire-Class Frigate (designation HFF) represents the Imperial Republic Navy’s principal heavy assault frigate — designed for aggressive close-range firepower, overwhelming enemy defenses, and clearing paths for larger capital ships.

At 600 meters in length, the Hellfire-class shares the same frame as its Vindicator sibling but is distinguished by its significantly higher energy weapon loadout. With 30 laser cannons, 30 heavy lasers, and 15 turbolasers, it delivers a concentrated barrage capable of tearing through light capital ships, station defenses, and convoy formations in minutes.

Unlike lighter strike frigates, the Hellfire relies on its devastating alpha strike rather than sustained maneuverability or shield endurance. It can operate both independently or as part of Assault Spearhead Groups, providing critical breakthroughs during fleet battles.

Equipped for planetary landing operations and carrying five squadrons of starfighters, the Hellfire can unleash a combined arms offensive both in orbit and on surface targets.

Its doctrine embodies the Imperial Republic’s willingness to use precision violence when necessary — delivering overwhelming force to secure peace and stability.
