During Many recent skirmishes with Jericho forces the Federation has deployed its newest instrument of war, a powerful frigate capable of disarming key targets through the use of EMP mortar weapons, decoys, and energy disruption effects. These frigates have had two uses as of yet during turf wars between the two factions, but the ‘Komodo’ has been tested and deemed battle ready to be given to the most committed of Federal mercenaries.
