The "Frigate Buster" is an anti-frigate heavy missile launcher developped by the Union of Progressive Peoples.[1] It was predominantly installed on Kremlin-class destroyers.[2]
Overview[]
When the UPP rethought their approach of warships in the mid-2160s, they searched for an efficient way to fight Conestoga-class and one of the results was the "Frigate Buster". Specially designed for Kremlin-class destroyers, the launcher fire long-range electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) missiles capable of cripple a Conestoga-class frigate engine and other systems. However as the missile-launcher and ammunitions are very costly, $50,000,000 for the launcher and $600,000 for each missiles, the weapon is not very widespread in the UPP fleet.[1]
