Falchion Escort

Falchion Class Escort

The Falchion Class Escort is loosely based on the Endeavour, Endurance, and Defiant classes of light cruiser. It is designed to fulfil the same kind of role as the Sword Class Frigate. It is a escort ship, and therefore, individually weak, and therefore operates paired with 3 or 4 ships. Sometimes up to six ships are grouped together in a single squadron.¹

The Falchion has a small weapons battery and a single torpedo tube. It also has a shield generator and turret array for protection.¹

Notable Falchion Class squadrons include:

The Initiates of Monglor

Seen during the Third War for Armageddon.¹

The Rhomphaian Squadron

Michaelis Fire Squadron
