Oda-Gach

The Oda Gach-class, known to most outside Rigel as the Cutter, is a frigate specialized for the response role, with light weapons but a science suite and accommodations/diplomatic facilities equivalent to much more modern and larger Starfleet ships like the Comet. These ships were significant players in the Federation-Licori War where their good science suite was wanted to help deal with Mentat mad science, but took a beating getting the job done due to their weak shields and hull. The Rigellian Defence Forces took the lesson to heart, and have licensed the Amarki Anacail for future combat frigate needs.
