Carolingian-like ships were first spotted in 4624, when drone fleets attacked UMC convoys. In addition to standard interceptors and fighters, the insane artificial intelligence also used frigates of unknown design. It was these ships that caused significant damage, destroying transport escorts. Further inquiries to Jericho yielded no information, and the UMC command decided to study the new ships. During subsequent battles, enough samples were captured for the UMC engineers to recreate the long-range frigate, which they named Carolingian. Although it is only a copy, tests have shown significant similarities in combat parameters. The main difference is the increase in size due to the need to accommodate the larger onboard equipment.

With truly powerful weapons, the “Carolingian” also has features akin to suppression destroyers, making the frigate particularly dangerous in combat. Currently, all UMC mercenaries can apply to receive the new ship.
