Kontos is a general purpose ship. Less acceleration, but much better armed (and much bigger), with 2-3 fighter squadrons and a battalion of troops. This ship has very minimal carried craft, and maybe a company of troops with almost no vehicles – all shipborne duties. This frigate is more for fleet scouting roles, and as hunters on detached service. Just about the smallest type of ship to be able to take a heavy turbolaser shot and still be intact enough to run.
I just posted a moddeling project on tumblr of what is maybe the most underrepresented ship in Star Wars history. If our host agrees I would be happy to share the link…
Ah, one lower-lateral hangar deck, paired point-defense sponsons & what seems to be a respectable alpha arc for the MTLs. Still love those lower-profile scanner domes.

What’s the difference in roles between this and say a Kontos? What about a Vigil-class?

I see. Thanks!
Pls give us more models to cheer us up while America goes to hell
👍. My sentiments too.
Art will heal a lot of ills. Meanwhile, chins up, move forward.
Better said than I could manage.
Yes, Admiral.
I’m going to call you Admiral now, because Admirals command major SW shipyards to my knowledge, and you create ships, so you’re like a shipyard.
🙂

That’s AWESOME.

Still trying to take in the proportions on those lateral protrusions at the stern.
