Nebulon-B/A Frigate

With Imperial merchant shipping coming under more frequent Rebel attack, the Imperial Navy began assigning Nebulon B frigates to escort duty in an effort to stem the losses. For a while this tactic worked and losses dropped, but with the Rebels gaining access to newer and more capable vessels, the Nebulon B became increasingly ineffective in this role. With Naval Command unwilling to tie up more potent larger vessels in menial escort duties, an upgrade package for the Nebulon B was rushed into operation. Comprising improved anti-starfighter weaponry, more powerful sub-light engines and advanced automation systems, the upgrades were warmly welcomed by the field commanders who benefited from their introduction. Imperial High Command was less enamoured of the high cost of the upgrades and scrapped the program after a couple of hundred ships had been retrofitted.
