This is the basic design produced by engineers on Ni'novia. It is moderately armed and is a good mid sized escort frigate. There is little remarkable about this ship except its manufacturing cost. Due to the nature of the limited resources the Sith possess, it was designed to be cost effective and easy to build. Manufacturing can be done in 1/35 the time it takes to build a full ISD. This basic design was successful and spawned the Mark II and Mark III versions of frigates.
