The ''Paris'' follows a design lineage established with its forebears, the {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}} and {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}s. The ship is predominantly identified by the two primary booms on its fore, the upper of which containing the ships's primary 65P8V1 [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] - the primary weapon of which the ship is built around. These hull booms are flanked by two horizontal modules which run a third of the ship's length, and each contain the housings and mechanisms for five of the [[M870 Rampart point defense gun|M870 Rampart]] point-defence turrets (three located on the upper hull, two below) and six [[M2950 Harpoon nuclear missile]] silos, respectively.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The ''Paris'' follows a design lineage established with its forebears, the {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}} and {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}s.

The rear half of the ship contains the ship's externally-mounted [[bridge]] on the top of the ship, providing overwatch of the battle space around the frigate, and a lower mast that houses the ship's primary [[hangar bay]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVGSavannah}} Each side of the ship contains a "wing" each respectively mounting a single primary and three secondary [[fusion drive]]s. These serve as the frigate's primary sub-light [[maneuver drive]] system. The middle portion of the ship between the engines mounts a further two M870 Rampart guns and several missile silos. Overall, the ship is coated in a layer of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battle plating]] -{{Ref/Reuse|EVGSavannah}} thicker in volume that the standard layers found on lighter frigate types.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The ship's bridge contains two standard airlocks on either side, that allow for umbilical docking with other ships or [[space station]]s for crew ingress/egress. | The rear half of the ship contains the ship's externally-mounted [[bridge]] on the top of the ship, providing overwatch of the battle space around the frigate, and a lower mast that houses the ship's primary [[hangar bay]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVGSavannah}} Each side of the ship contains a "wing" each respectively mounting a single primary and three secondary [[fusion drive]]s.

The class' name could be a reference to the city of [[Wikipedia:Paris|Paris]], the capital of France. Alternatively, it could be named in reference to [[Wikipedia:Paris (mythology)|Paris]], a major figure of the Trojan War. In-universe, it may also be a reference to the human colony world of [[Paris IV]] or the city of [[New Paris]], on [[Mars]]. | |||
