Description
Classified as a heavy frigate with two garages on each side of the ship equivalent to 1/16th of the full vessel, the SSR class vessel is one of a kind. Rather than carrying troop transports, this ship is equipped with three transport-acting WO-1 Fighters in addition to a UTH/C-129 Condor.

Background
In 2190, a unique frigate design was brought to the Systems Alliance Navy, codename SSR-1. Initially, this ship design was meant to act as a transportation ship, however further discussion led to the ship being designated as a war frigate. Construction did not begin until 2192, and due to budget cuts, remained uncompleted until 2193. Initially, the ship appeared fast, proving to have the maneuverability of a fighter and the speed of any number of modern era cruisers. As testing continued however, the ship was deemed unready. Four years of upgrades eventually pushed the SSR-1 to be combat ready, and the vessel was put under the command of Captain Nicholas A. Turner. In 2198 the frigate was attacked, resulting in damage to the hull and the death of Captain Nicholas A. Turner. The ship is currently docked on earth and receiving additional upgrades before being brought back into action. Construction is expected to be complete by late 2200.
