Description:

While the leaders of House Atreides for the most part have to deal with the same production designs as other Houses, the longstanding friendship between Ix and the Atreides has allowed for one significant variant to be introduced into Atreides Battle fleets. This limited design provides for several upgrades from the standard Frigate. The first is more responsive command and control that leads to a higher initiative than most capital ships. The second is a better standard sensor suite (though it still functions under the ‘antiquated’ rules). Also a weapons upgrade from the normal Gauss Cannons to the longer range and more accurate Matter Cannons has increased their ability to project fire zones and to damage ships before they can respond. This advantage is multiplied by the Matter Cannon’s ability to fire multiphasic shells, armor piercing shells that cause tremendous explosions in the interior of the opponent’s hull. The addition of a hangar of Atreides Battle Pods adds an impressive firepower platform. Finally an increased communications suite enables the Battle Frigate to act as a squadron leader, giving every ship in the squadron a +1 bonus to their initiative. The Battle Frigate is a superior overall design, and should the Duke of Caladan ever need to personally take command of an Atreides Fleet it is from the confines of a Battle Frigate’s bridge that he will do so.
