Group
Defense Frigate (GDF)
Pride
of Kaldera Class
Platform Overview:
The
Pride of Kaldera class Group Defense Frigate is the
first line of defense for the HCBG and the PRG. Designed
to track, target and destroy incoming enemy missiles and
fighters, the battlegroup relies on the GDF commanders to
ensure that the battlespace is clear for maneuver and attack
operations. Each vessel is armed with limited offensive
capabilities, but these capabilities are rarely used except
in cases where the battlegroup has suffered significant
casualties or the threat of hostile interdiction is low.
With their superior deep sensing and target correlation
abilities, GDFs can also serve as augmentation for the HCBG's
extended range surveillance platforms. Although rarely deployed
independently of a HCBG, large ad hoc networks of detached
GDFs can be used as planetary defense assets in the unlikely
event of invasion by hostile forces or massive missile attack.
