	In the game, frigates are the smallest of the primary ships-of-the-line (only corvettes mass less). They are physically single-hulled, with only one nacelle (rare exceptions had dual-~~nacelled~~ frigates equipped on one shared pylon) and tend to be fast at warp and nimble at sublight (though not to the extent of corvettes). In peacetime, they are often tasked with border patrols, both along threat corridors and more benign ones. In wartime, they will screen fleet and task formations at a distance, providing early warning capabilities, as well as limited-duration independent operations for reconnaissance, search and rescue and covert insertion. While not as prevalent as with destroyers, they can also be equipped with modules that enhance their capabilities, such as with weaponry or sensors. They tend towards the phaser-based defensive weaponry, though may sometimes host a limited number of torpedo launchers.
