The Haladros Heavy Frigate is principally a missile platform, a cheap alternative to the slightly smaller, more valuable and expensive Calgast. While it carries less missiles than the Calgast, the Haladros is exceptionally well shielded, exceeding the shielding of many common heavy cruisers. However, it lacks armour and possesses only average speed and manoeuvrability for a vessel of its size class. Nevertheless, it presents a problem to enemy forces – they can either ignore the missile platform and be bombarded with a steady stream of missiles, or devote a disproportionate amount of resources to engage and disable it.

The Haladros carries a number of point-defence particle beam turrets and a small number of light torpedo tubes, both from self-protection or so assist other vessels attacking tractored targets in its formation.
