First built in the mid 30th century, the '''''Fredasa'''''-Class Corvette is the smallest of new-design [[WarShip]]s produced by the [[Clans]] and often sees use as a picket ship.

The Fredassa came about in the mid-29th century, one of a handful of small vessels designed around the same time, such as the ''[[Corone]]'' and ''[[Molniya]]'', and the only class of that time still seeing use in Clan ''[[touman|toumans]]''.<ref name="TRO:3057r130"/>
  
The [[Inner Sphere]] navies however refer to the ''Fredasa'' as a raider, based on the preceived primary mission of the class, its ability to reach 4 Gs of acceleration in short bursts, superlative maneuverability for its size and small emergence signature. While lightly armored by modern standards, at least compared to its closest [[Successor State]] counterpart the slightly heavier [[Fox (WarShip)|''Fox''-class Covertte]], the use of Valiant [[Lamellor Ferro-Carbide]] plating does give it superior protection than [[Star League era]] craft of similar size.

Relatively well armed for its size, ''Fredasa'' features a mixture of anti-fighter and capital class weaponry. A pair of [[Gauss Rifle]]s, four [[ER Large Laser|ER Large]] and [[Small Laser]]s provide anti-fighter defenses in support of a mammoth [[NAC/40]] and twin [[NL45]]s. Both forward angles feature four ER large lasers paired with two [[NAC/10]]s, while each broadside mounts four small lasers, three [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers and a pair of NL45s. Along it aft quarters, the ''Fredasa'' carries two [[Artemis IV FCS]] enhanced [[LRM-20]] launchers on each rear angle supported by four ER large lasers, four small lasers and two more NL45s. Carrying five tons of gauss reloads, eight tons of LRM and twelve of Streak missiles, along with eighty tons of NAC/10 and a hundred and twenty of NAC/20 rounds give the corvette moderate endurance for its intended and perceived roles.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

Named for one of the Star League Defense Force's most infamous Commanding Generals, Ikolor Fredasa,[4] the Fredasa-Class Corvette is the smallest of new-design WarShips produced by the Clans and often sees use as a picket ship.

Description

The Fredassa came about in the mid-29th century, one of a handful of small vessels designed around the same time, such as the Corone and Molniya, and the only class of that time still seeing use in Clan toumans.[2]

Inner Sphere navies refer to the Fredasa as a raider, based on the perceived primary mission of the class, its ability to reach 4 Gs of acceleration in short bursts, superlative maneuverability for its size, and small emergence signature. While lightly armored by modern standards, at least compared to its closest Successor State counterpart the slightly heavier Fox-class Covertte, the use of Valiant Lamellor Ferro-Carbide plating does give it superior protection than Star League era craft of similar size. Like many modern craft, the Fredasa is equipped with a Lithium-Fusion Battery System.[5]

Armament

Relatively well armed for its size, Fredasa features a mixture of anti-fighter and capital-class weaponry. A pair of [[Gauss rifle]s], four ER Large and Small Lasers provide anti-fighter defenses in support of a mammoth NAC/40 and twin NL45s. Both forward angles feature four ER large lasers paired with two NAC/10s, while each broadside mounts four small lasers, three Streak SRM-6 launchers, and a pair of NL45s. Along its aft quarters, the Fredasa carries two Artemis IV FCS enhanced LRM-20 launchers on each rear angle supported by four ER large lasers, four small lasers, and two more NL45s. Carrying five tons of gauss reloads, eight tons of LRM, and twelve of Streak missiles, along with eighty tons of NAC/10 and a hundred and twenty of NAC/40 rounds give the corvette moderate endurance for its intended and perceived roles.[5]

Cargo

Beyond being able to carry a single DropShip, twenty OmniFighters, and two Small Craft, the Fredasa has a minimal cargo capacity of 3,415.5 tons.
