armor:1 meter tritanium armor. tritanium can survive a plasma bombardment more then the normal titanium A. in the event of armor failure all bulkheads are airlocked and automated fire control systems stay the flames aboard damged areas.

History: litterally finished right before the Fall Of Reach, the three ships destroyed 5 covenant cruisers in their virgin flight while dodging 7 plasma torpedoes and later retreated to try and follow the autumn through it's slipspace jump. the fleet of the UNSC frigates ended their flight inside of an unexplored nebula.
lost in space and chased by a covenant fleet the Loki lead the fleet across the nebula and found a spotted a desert planet near an orange star. they used the gravity well to hide behid as the covenant fleet scouted the area.
the ensuing fight that occured resulted in the destruction of both the Loki and the Isis, and the utter ahnihilation of the Covenant Fleet. the Aphrodite was nearly sheared in half, and took 4 years to make it back to Reach, then Earth, living off of planets they landed on for supplies.
Tactics: the frigates would use their antimatter drivesto fly in at extreme speeds and hit and run covenant frigates with overwhelming firepower and rapid rounds, flying away near unscathed at extreme exit speeds.
the Mini Shiva Nukes were used against destroyeres with powerful shields. ships would take the shields out and the nukes would launch into the ship, exploding when the covenant shield went back up.
