Heretic battle carrier/Skirmisher-class frigate

The Heretic battle carrier is a large frigate serving mainly in the Heretic battle fleet. It has been designed with versatility in mind, and although its main strength is its huge fighter complement, it's still formidable in ship to ship combat. However, its weapon layout makes it incapable of useful orbital bombardment. Battle carriers serving in the UFSC are called Skirmisher-class frigates.
