PDRMN Frigate
The most numerous ship in the PDRMN, these typically travel along in groups of 2, or in larger task forces as long term shuttles and scout craft. The smallest craft that can operate independently, it is rarely strong enough to stand up to more than a improvised weapon, but is useful as deterrent. It has an over sized medical department as it is frequently used as an emergency hospital for smaller asteroid communities.
