Description: An attempt at revising and recreating the Olympus corvette, the Chronos was another of the late additions to the fleet after the advances Earth Force made due to their attachment to the Interstellar Alliance. It carries a very generous amount of advanced firepower to every arc, and few ships its size can maneuver quite like it. Since its release into the fleet as a standard vessel, the Chronos has filled the role of escort, flanking attacker and even patrolling cutter – hence its rather unimaginative title of ‘attack frigate’.

Large for a frigate, the Chronos was built on a much bigger frame to be able to house the copious number of weapons systems that the EA designers devised for the thick-hulled and rather agile warship. These ships were deployed only in small numbers at first in 2262, but by 2270 there were well over a hundred of them in the naval records.
