Anacail-A

A modern combat frigate developed to dish out and take heavy blows in support of the Riala-class ships, the Anacail is extremely durable for a frigate, with hull armor and shield systems exceeding those of many contemporary cruisers (including the Confederacy of Amarki Navy's own Hebrinda-As, the stock Cardassian Jaldun, and the Konen Whisperer) to ensure that it can stay in the fight. Its weaponry is also quite respectable even for a cruiserweight vessel from the 2310s, though not as much in the 2320s. In addition to the Amarki, Anacails are used by the Rigellian Defense Service.

These are arguably the best pure combat frigates in service in the Federation, but they entered service too late for any of the major conflicts of the 2310s. They have seen action against Hishmeri raiders and served in discouraging Ittick-ka aggression against the Trill, usually to good effect.

The Anacail-A, projected to enter service in 2327, substantially upgrades the base platform, keeping it relevant into the future. The refit completely replaces the primary combat systems, stripping the original phaser systems in exchange for a new phaser array, and the torpedoes for modern burst launchers. The refit also expands the hull, adding a cargo bay, improving both endurance and providing more resources for onboard hull repair.
