The '''''Strident''-class heavy frigate''' is a type of heavy [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]], designated with the hull code '''FFG'''. Manufactured over [[Mars]] and [[Tribute]] by [[Aerofabrique SA]],{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} these frigates are used as both escort ships and swift-attack vessels. Outfitted with [[energy shielding]] and powerful weaponry, the ''Strident'' class represents one of the newest generations of [[warship]]s within the Navy.<ref name="clarity">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-clarity-grace '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Clarity & Grace'']</ref>


==Role==
The '''''Strident''-class heavy frigate''' is a type of [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]], designated with the hull code '''FFG'''.<ref name="Warfleet"/> They are used as both escort ships and swift-attack vessels.<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 192''</ref>
The ''Strident'' class fulfills a number of versatile roles in the [[UNSC Navy]], from convoy escort to troop transport. The multi-purpose ''Strident''-class heavy frigate most often fulfills escort and attack roles in the [[fleet]]. In attack roles, they rely on their speed and numbers to engage enemy [[capital ship]]s. To compensate for their relative fragility, ''Strident''-class frigates maneuver and attack as a synchronized group to minimize exposure to [[plasma]] fire.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}


Blurring the lines between frigate and [[destroyer]], the lean and lethal ''Strident'' class is considered an invaluable asset to the Navy.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} Up to ten of these frigates can be stored in the internal [[Hangar bay|hangars]] and docking clamps of {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref>''Halo Warfleet'', p. 43</ref> After an initial assault, they are deployed ''en masse'' to deliver a final, crushing blow and mopping up any stragglers in the process.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
==Overview==
The ''Strident''-class is the most recent addition to the Navy's prevailing ship type, having entered service by [[2552#October|October 2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 1|Issue 1]]''</ref> Up to ten of these ships are stored within the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s underslung sub-vessel deployment bay. After an initial assault, they are deployed ''en masse'' to deliver a final, crushing blow and mopping up any stragglers in the process.<ref name="EVG"/> Notably, these vessels can be equipped with [[energy shielding|energy shields]], a significant development over prior UNSC vessels which had to rely on only their [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplate]] for protection,<ref name="departure">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Departure|S1E1 Departure]]''</ref> though due to a shortage of shield emitters, many ''Stridents'' lack these shields as they wait for units to become available.<ref name="Warfleet"/>


==Design details==
==Design details==
===Superstructure and hull===
575 meters in length, the ship is fairly narrow on the port-starboard axis. Like on other UNSC vessels, propulsion is provided by a [[fusion drive|deuterium fusion engine]]. Like other [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] classes, it possesses port and starboard "wings" and has a laterally split hull. A blister with several viewports is on the dorsal surface near the bow. At least two [[hangar bay]]s are mounted on either side; these bays are sealed with [[energy barrier|energy shield doors]].<ref name="Midnight">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> The ship's [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] deployment bays are mounted on the mid-ventral surface.<ref name="Initiation">'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue 1''</ref>
The ''Strident''-class heavy frigate is an incredibly fast and agile [[warship]] capable of precise naval combat.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} 575 meters in length, the ship is fairly narrow on the port-starboard axis. Relatively fragile, the ''Strident'' class is armored with easily replaceable [[Titanium-A armor]] panels, with additional plating around the ship's delicate engines.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} Like other [[UNSC frigate|frigate]]s, the ''Strident'' possesses port and starboard "wings" and has a laterally split hull. A blister with several viewports is on the dorsal surface near the bow.<ref name="Midnight">''[[Halo 4]]'', campaign level, "[[Midnight]]"</ref> Rather than relying solely on the ship's hull for protection,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the ''Strident'' class can be outfitted with [[energy shielding]]. Production delays mean most frigates are not equipped with energy shielding, though [[Energy barrier|small generators]] capable of sealing the [[Hangar bay|hangar]] and [[airlock]]s are standard. Channels for waveguides and bay sockets for emitters are installed, making final integration of shields a straightforward process once modules are available.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}


The frigate's [[bridge]] features a state-of-the-art combat management system and a datacore capable of hosting a [[smart AI]] ship director. The AI and automated systems handle target detection, threat evaluation, tracking, and calculating of firing solutions, though the crew sets target priority and authorizes weapons release. These frigates maintain a low sensor signature.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} The ship's [[M8900 drop pod|M8900 SOEIV]] deployment bays are mounted on the mid-ventral surface.<ref name="Initiation">''[[Halo: Initiation]]'', [[Halo: Initiation Issue 1|Issue #1]]</ref> Like other warships of the [[UNSC Navy]], sublight propulsion is provided by a [[fusion drive|deuterium fusion engine]].{{Ref/Reuse|departure}}
===Armament===
The ''Strident''-class frigate's primary armament is its [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Mark IV, heavy coil - 94B1E6/Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. Rivaling the twin MACs on [[UNSC destroyer|UNSC destroyers]], the ''Strident''-class is unique in that it is designed to fire shield-penetrating MAC rounds. The frigate is also armed with two [[Archer missile#M42 Archer|M42 Archer missile pods]] and five [[Mark 55 Castor naval coilgun]]s as its secondary ship-to-ship armaments. Three of the Castors are paired with [[Mark 57 Arena point defense gun]]s in a 'quickshot' configuration, with one on each side. To protect against fighters and missiles, six [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s are fitted. They evaluate incoming threats and switch the ammunition to either sub-caliber armor-piercing sabots or proximity detonation fragmentation shells on a target-by-target basis .Additionally, three [[M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system]]s are located on the frigate.<ref name="Warfleet"/>


===Crew and complement===
==Service history==
The ''Strident''-class heavy frigate is crewed by 190 [[UNSC Navy|sailors]]. These warships traditionally carry no expeditionary troops,{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} though may occasionally hold and deploy a handful of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].{{Ref/Reuse|Initiation}} Due to the frigate's relatively small size, the ''Strident'' class carries little in the way of complement. The class has a single internal hangar bay, capable of housing a single [[Pelican]] [[dropship]]. However, three more dropships can be carried on exterior hull clamps.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}
At least one of these frigates was used to deploy [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] during a battle for an unknown world in [[2552#October|October 2552]].<ref name="Initiation"/> Following the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]], hundreds of ''Strident''-class vessels, along with the ''Anlace''-class frigate, have been commissioned and are now being produced for the new [[UNSC Navy]] above [[Mars]]. During the [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]], at least three ships of this class escorted the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} as part of [[Battlegroup Dakota]]. They engaged the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', though they could not prevent him from activating the [[Composer]] and killing millions of residents in [[New Phoenix]], [[Unified Republic of North America|URNA]].<ref name="Midnight"/>


Additionally, the ''Strident'' class may also carry [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, heavily armed [[space fighter]]s specifically designed for use by [[Spartan]] operatives.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}
At the onset of the [[Requiem Campaign]], the ''Infinity'''s embarked ''Strident''-class sub-vessels were launched to engage the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] around Requiem.<ref name="departure"/> During the battle ''Infinity Sub-vessel 3'' destroyed a {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} that was sending waves of troops and vehicles at [[Fireteam Crimson]] over "[[Two Giants]]".<ref>'''Spartan Ops''' - [[Catherine| ''Catherine'']], Chapter 4: "[[Catherine/Shootout in Valhalla|Shootout in Valhalla]]"</ref> Later, as the ''Infinity'' was stranded and [[Battle of Aktis IV|ambushed]] at the world of [[Aktis IV]] by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] with the aid of [[Catherine Halsey]], the flagship deployed its entire fleet of sub-vessels to ward off the attacking Covenant fleet, which they eventually succeeded in doing.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue 16]]''</ref>
 
===Armament===
The ''Strident''-class heavy frigate is described as a lean and lethal warship, capable of carrying incredible firepower.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The frigate's primary armament is its ship-mounted [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Mark IV, heavy coil - 94B1E6/Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The 94B1E6 heavy MAC and its twelve massive capacitor banks allow the ''Strident''{{'}}s firepower to rival the twin MACs on [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]] and light [[cruiser]]s. However, the ''Strident'' class is unable to carry much in the way of ammunition due to its small size; for this reason, most combat operations take place near supply depots. For attacking targets of strategic significance,{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} these frigates are fitted with a single [[M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system]], armed with three warheads.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} It requires several minutes to load and prepare each [[missile]].{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} The MAC and the Hyperion warheads combined are capable of defeating a variety of [[Covenant]] [[capital ship]]s, as long as their shields are down.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
 
The secondary armament{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} of the frigate is two [[Archer missile#M42 Archer|M42 Archer missile pods]].{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} To protect against fighters and missiles, six [[M870 Rampart point defense gun|M870 Rampart point-defense guns]] are fitted, emplacements combining quad-mount coilguns and a targeting scanner. They evaluate incoming threats and switch the ammunition to either sub-caliber armor-piercing sabots or proximity detonation fragmentation shells on a target-by-target basis. The ''Strident'' class is armed with five [[Mark 55 Castor naval coilgun]]s as its secondary ship-to-ship armaments. The Castors are designed to fire a variety of munitions, including experimental shield-piercing rounds. Three of the Castor turrets are equipped with two smaller [[Mark 57 Arena point defense gun]]s in a "quickshot" configuration, with one on each side.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}
 
==Operational history==
[[File:Halo Initiation unidentified frigate.PNG|thumb|left|250px|A ''Strident''-class in one of its few deployments during the war.]]
===Human-Covenant War===
The ''Strident''-class heavy frigate was designed late in the [[Human-Covenant War]], implementing hard-earned lessons from previous [[frigate]] designs. The ''Strident'' class was the testbed for streamlined manufacturing techniques intended to accelerate production.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} During the war, at least two such frigates participated in the [[Defense of Concord]] in December, 2551; the battle resulted in a rare naval victory for the UNSC, forcing the Covenant to abandon their assault.{{Ref/Reuse|Contention}} Additionally, one of these frigates was used to deploy [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] during a battle for an unknown world in [[2552#October|October 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|Initiation}}
 
===Post-war===
Following the war's conclusion, hundreds of ''Strident''- and {{Class|Anlace|light frigate}}s were commissioned and assembled in shipyards above [[Mars]] and [[Tribute]] to replace the combat losses and engage [[Covenant remnants]] occupying the [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} While prominent in the years following the Covenant War,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the ''Strident'' class is not a direct replacement for other frigate classes.{{Ref/Reuse|clarity}}
 
In [[2554]], several ''Strident''-class heavy frigates participated in the [[Battle of Draetheus V]]. One of which was listing in atmosphere, destroyed.<ref>''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''</ref>
 
During the [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]], at least three ships of this class escorted {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} as part of [[Battlegroup Dakota]]. They engaged the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', though they could not prevent him from activating the [[Composer]] and killing millions of residents in [[New Phoenix]], [[Unified Republic of North America|URNA]].{{Ref/Reuse|Midnight}}
 
At the onset of the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558]], ''Infinity''{{'}}s embarked ''Strident'' class sub-vessels were launched to engage the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] around Requiem.{{Ref/Reuse|departure}} During the battle, ''[[Infinity Sub-Vessel 3]]'' destroyed a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} that was sending waves of troops and vehicles at [[Fireteam Crimson]] over "[[Two Giants]]".<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Catherine/Shootout In Valhalla|S103 Shootout in Valhalla]]</ref> Later, as ''Infinity'' was stranded and [[Battle of Aktis IV|ambushed]] at the world of [[Aktis IV]] by [[Jul 'Mdama]] with the aid of [[Catherine Halsey]], the flagship deployed its entire fleet of ''Strident''-class heavy frigates to ward off the attacking Covenant fleet, which they eventually succeeded in doing.<ref>''Halo: Escalation'', [[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]</ref>
 
As the [[Created]] began their [[Subjugation of Earth|take over]] of [[Earth]] during [[The Reclamation]], ''Strident''s were in orbit of the [[planet]] and subsequently disabled.{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Guardians]]}} A year later, five ''Strident'' frigates were deployed by the UNSC ''Infinity'' during [[Operation: WOLFE]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR13|HSoR|Chapter=13}}
