Its still too small to be a frigate, i think the recommendation that its a re molding is more accurate. In the Fading Suns universe the Decados, if I am incorrect please let me know, do not have an escort class ship which is smaller than a frigate and larger than a raider/ explorer. I looked through Noble Armada 1st ed and Expanded Ed and did not see any stats. I also looked through Fading Suns 2nd Ed and Forbidden Lore: Technology, still no escort class Decados ship. So the only conclusion I can come up with is remolding. Looks good though dont ya think.
