During the 3rd Frontier War, high losses in civilian shipping and amongst transport vessels impressed into Imperial service resulted in the issuance of an Admiralty specification for a mid-sized escort vessel purely for close protection of unarmed transport craft. The design which was finally accepted was the Fer-de-lance class destroyer escort. Performance characteristics for this class make it capable of staying with most Imperial fleets and thus this type of vessel can be found escorting most squadrons as well as more typical convoys.
