The Flak Frigate is a specialised anti-Strike Craft type of Assault Frigate designed to defend Hiigaran fleets against enemy strike craft.
Background[]
The ship was used during the Vaygr War and was a fairly fast ship armed with two flak cannon turrets, which fired a unique flak shell capable of hitting entire strike craft squadrons at once.
Flak Frigates were usually deployed in large groups, allowing them to cover each other and attack enemy corvettes as well. Against frigates and larger ships though, these weapons are inefficient unless used en masse.
Overall, Flak Frigates should stick to escort duty against fighters, a job they excelled at more than any other ship during the Vaygr War.
About 15 years after the Vaygr war the Hiigarans built a new ship called the Assault Frigate but essentially it is the same ship as the pervious one.
