Old System Defense Frigates

History-

These old System Defense Frigates were kept by the Orions for far longer than even the Dy-500 Class, at least 500-600 years, although it has been estimated they have been around longer, and were used by the Orions in several small wars against the Nausicaans, the Vlackta, and others. These ships, along with the three ancient colony ships 1 km wide and 3 kms long and around sixteen larger cruisers, frigates and destroyers were the only decent Orion ship larger than Class VI, and functioned more as warp-capable monitors, and sometimes even with the Orion Space Navy, although with Orions good at half-truths, shadowy dealings and sneaking around, this spotless piracy-free record is dubious.
