'''Light Frigates''' are a subclass of [[Frigates]] which occupy a unique niche, set apart from both similarly-sized[[Corvettes]] and larger [[Frigate|Frigates]]. They are fast platforms that are large enough to use[[Starship Weapons|phasers]] (4,630), and they usually have a front bridge to most effecitvely utilize their powerful [[Starship Weapons|Plasma Cannon]] primary weapons; however, they're smaller than their [[Attack Frigate]] and [[Heavy Frigate]] cousins to dodge enemy capital ship attacks.
