Overview

The Vindicator-Class Frigate (designation VCF) serves as the primary escort frigate within the Imperial Republic Navy.

Built around principles of resilience, tactical flexibility, and fleet cohesion, the Vindicator is designed to guard larger ships, intercept enemy strike groups, and hold strategic positions during planetary or fleet engagements.

At 600 meters in length, the Vindicator balances strong defensive capabilities with moderate offensive firepower. It boasts excellent shielding and hull durability for its class, allowing it to endure prolonged firefights while supporting capital ships and fighter groups.

Armed with a carefully balanced arsenal — 20 laser cannons, 20 heavy lasers, 10 turbolasers, 5 missile launchers, and 10 ion cannons — the Vindicator is highly adaptable, capable of engaging starfighters, corvettes, or even larger vessels in coordinated fleet actions.

Its planetary landing capability and deployment of five starfighter squadrons make it a reliable vanguard asset during surface campaigns, troop insertions, and orbital sieges.

Vindicator-class ships embody the Imperial Republic’s values of discipline, vigilance, and order — always present to protect, to endure, and to stabilize.
