Capsule: At the start of the Clone War a large building programme of torpedo frigates was put in hand by the Republic. The
generally adopted design became known as the four-stacker class due to the peculiar exhaust design for the sublight drive. In
reality is the class composed of three different sub groups with only minor changes in layout and equipment. The class was produced in tremendous numbers during the Clone War and they were even built for several years after the Clone Wars had ended. Their existence hampered design improvements and it was not until that they were 10 to 15 years old that any new torpedo frigate designs were started.
When the Rebellion begun, many had been scrapped or converted for other tasks and the remaining were slated to be rebuilt as cheap escort frigates or as fast troop transports. However, several unmodified frigates of this class are still in duty all over the
galaxy.
The escort frigate modification includes the removal of all proton torpedo launchers and the fitting of the following weapon system:
12 Twin Light Laser Cannons (Fire Separately)
Scale: Starfighter
Fire Arc: 4 Front, 4 Left, 4 Right
Crew: 1
Skill: Starship Gunnery
Fire Control: 2D
Space/Atmosphere Range: 1-3/12/25, 0.1-0.3/1.2/2.5 km

The fast troop transport modification substitutes all torpedo facilities for increased troop accommondations, thereby increasing the number of troops carried to 400. All starfighters are replaced by one more shuttle, increasing the number of shuttles to two.
