Burke-class Frigate

The Burke-class frigate is the lightest 'regular' ship in the Core Systems Republic Navy. First created to address the needs of the League Navy during the Human-Skaald War, the Burke-class's basic blueprint dates all the way back to 2340 and saw use not only in that conflict, but also on both sides of the Core Systems-Spartan War. Though the Spartan Brigade People's Navy has replaced their Burke complement with the Attican-class frigate in frontline duty, the Burke remains a mainstay of the CSRN in the escort role, despite repeated attempts to replace it.

All CSRN Burke-class vessels have been upgraded to the Revision K version, bringing the ships up to modern standards of equipment.
