Arethusa-Class Frigate (The Expanse)

The Arethusa-Class Frigate is a vessel derived from the aging design of the venerable Leonidas-Class battleship. While primarily employed for escort duties, the Arethusa-Class frigate has proven to be a highly adaptable vessel capable of performing interdiction, patrol, and anti-piracy operations with ease.

The versatility of the Arethusa-Class frigate is one of its standout features, allowing it to effectively tackle a wide range of mission profiles. It excels in escort duties, offering an essential protection to valuable U.N. assets and convoys traversing the Solar System. Additionally, its interdiction capabilities make it a formidable presence in intercepting and deterring hostile forces. Finally, it has garnered a notable reputation as a stalwart defender against piracy; its robust armament and powerful drives allowing it to neutralize threats swiftly and efficiently, effectively combating piracy across the Solar System.


The Arethusa-Class Frigate boasts an impressive armament for its size, with 6 Redfields Ballistics Point Defense Cannons strategically positioned throughout the ship to create an extensive grid, as well as 2 Torpedo Launchers that ensures the Frigate is well-prepared for both offensive and defensive operations.
