The "Pirate Frigate", officially the Vesta Type-13 light frigate, is a small but relatively heavily armed frigate produced by the Vesta Shipbuilding Company. The Pirate Frigate earned it's name due to the fact is is incredibly common among pirate crews across the galaxy, a trait shared with most Vesta Shipbuilding Company ships. The Pirate Frigate is armed with six twin autocannon turrets, three on each side of the ship, six missile launchers and two torpedo launchers, sometimes modified to fire boarding pods, all along the edge of the ship and a singular anti-ship cannon at the front of the ship for use against hardier targets.
