New Hampshire Class
Heavy Frigate
The New Hampshire Class Heavy Frigate, a variant of the workhorse of
the Federation fleet, the Miranda class, was created to serve as an
auxiliary vessel to transport convoys and commercial shipping.
Much of the power of the New Hampshire class vessel is shifted to its
numerous tractor beam emplacements. No fewer than eight dedicated tractor
beam pods are dispersed about this ship, allowing the vessel to unload
one freighter or transport and load another in a matter of minutes,
a task that other vessels of similar classes could take several hours
to accomplish. In military situations, New Hampshire Class frigates
are often teamed with combat and repair tenders to help bring a starship
back to operational status as soon as possible. Apart from the prized
use in convoys, New Hampshire vessels have also proved useful in clearing
astrogation hazards and in the management of civilian traffic along
congested trade routes of major Federation industrialized centers.
