The Kaibon-class missile frigate is a multirole subcapital direct assault vessel built to provide a fleet support/recon medium starship frame capable of both orbital and direct ground operations

A balanced damage output and defence is augmented by an oversized sensor suite to facilitate long-range target acquisition and tracking for the 60 multilock missile tubes lining the broadsides. A smartloading system assists the crew in rearming the tubes via the internal magazine.
The missiles are backed up by an array of 17 point defence blisters, 3 medium cannons and one artillery cannon on the belly. This long-range cannon works in tandem with the sensor array to deliver precision hits on ground targets from low orbit as well as enemy ships and installations.

The Kaibon's internal hangar is spacious enough to carry two standard MBTs or multiple smaller vehicles plus an additional three light vehicles/fighters in the ancillary hangar above it. This aux hangar doubles as alternate loading access for the ship's primary magazine and main hold

Just shy of 10k tons, the Kaibon has decent sublight performance, with a cruise speed averaging 185m/s once underway (shift boost). Banks of warp drives afford the Kaibon a 24ly jump range, keeping pace with smaller and faster battlegroups. Kaibons can be launched from size C racks or equivalent from carrier vessels.

This particular example is RZ-05 Northstar in peacetime grey drab, currently part of the CRZN's 30th Forward Wing and stationed near the Torian Cluster.

Going for a Vagyr/Macross mashup look, please enjoy! Currently the missiles are imaginary

Works great with fighters that can fold up for stowing such as
