Overview:
ComStar's three Dante-class vessels were built in the short period between 2935 and 2949, products of the renovation of the Star League-era shipyards at Titan and increased militarism within the order. Though ComStar retained a number of ex-SLDF WarShips in mothballs, most of these vessels demanded large crews that the order was unable to supply. Primus York sought the creation of the heavily automated Dante-class as a stopgap measure to support the nascent ComStar Guards and Militia while the other vessels were refurbished and new crews trained.
The first Dante, the Narbonne, entered service in 2941, followed by the Bordeaux in 2944 and the Montpellier in 2948. The spiraling cost of renovating the remainder of the fleet, however, and the difficulty of hiding both the vessels and the large number of naval personnel led to the program being frozen in 2949. As a proven design, the Precentor Martial had considered commissioning the construction of further units in the class. The Blakist invasion of 3058 halted those plans.
Though massing less than some destroyers, the Dante's mix of speed, firepower and armor earned it the designation of frigate. Its principal role is the command and escort of DropShip flotillas. Though the design is also adept at raiding tactics, its small cargo bays and limited fuel bunkerage impede independent operations.
