Because of its high power-to-weight ratio, the Foray-class had a high sublight speed and acceleration rating, and could outrun most ships of its size, to say nothing of larger classes of warships. As such, they often played a vanguard role in battle, drawing the fire of enemy vessels and allowing their cruiser counterparts to engage directly. With two dual turbolaser turrets flanking the forward hull, as well as six anti-starfighter medium laser cannon, frigates of this class could engage in hit-and-fade attacks against enemy lines of battle. Because of their relatively low cost, many ships of this design were produced during the two wars, such that after Darth Malak's defeat, many local authorities were able to afford to purchase second-hand models for use by their own defense forces.
