The Olympus Frigate is a combat vessel designed for escort and support duties within a system. Lacking a jump drive, it must rely on jump tenders to reach other systems. It's combat effectiveness is much higher because of this however, and it was one of the most common light military vessels of the period.

Later varients tend to swap railguns and massdrivers for laser weapon systems, or possible extra missile launchers. Early in TL10, lasers were still expensive and mostly untested in real combat. Having such a wide range of different weapon types in such a small ship increases maintenance and supply costs.
