Overview

A versatile Paranid frigate, the Deimos is capable of escorting battleships or fighting alone. Its speed is average to low in its class and its manouverability is also middling. It does however have a small hangar bay, which further expands its areas of usefulness.

Physical Characteristics

A fairly large frigate, the Deimos has an oval, flat hull with winglike structures to the rear. It has a flattened nose section and an antennae array to the rear.

Combat

The Deimos is a good all-round frigate; tough and rugged, it can be expected to outfight anything it can't outrun. The ability to carry a small wing of fighters to assist it in combat makes it a popular ship.

It is compatible with the Flak Artillery Array for work in fleets and the Phased Shockwave Generator for work alone; it is recommended that this weapon is not used during fleet action. Its ability to destroy other capital ships is hampered by the fact that it is limited to a total of four capital weapons: two Incendiary Bomb Launchers on each of its side turrets. This leads to them generally being omitted entirely in favour of more flak or PSG power. The Deimos' laser generator is top-end and it shares the highest shield value of any of its class with its sister ship the Agamemnon.
