Hangar - Malem Support Frigate

A Ra'nodaire Support Carrier Warbird with deployed Malem Support Frigates and Scorpion fighter squadrons

Malem Support Frigates are a type of Hangar Pet for Romulan Republic characters, as well as characters of any other faction.

They are obtained and unlocked with the purchase of either Support Carrier:

• Ra'nodaire Support Carrier Warbird
• Fleet Ra'nodaire Support Carrier Warbird

While Malem Support Frigates are normally exclusive to any full Carrier - any vessel with two hangar bays, any Scimitar-type Dreadnought Warbirds can also equip these pets despite only having one hangar bay. Slotted hangar pets will add a launch ability: Launch Malem Support Frigate.

Hangar overview

A line of frigate pets were developed by the Romulan Republic to aid the Ra'nodaire-class in its role as a support carrier. Traditionally, the Malem-class Light Warbird is equipped with a devastating Plasma warhead module and capable of utilizing an enhanced battle cloak in combat. The support frigate variant of the Malem is sturdy in its own right, featuring substantial defensive armaments and a wide variety of abilities.

One wing of standard-issue (rare) Malem Support Frigates come pre-loaded as part of the standard equipment of the following vessels:

• Ra'nodaire Support Carrier Warbird and its Fleet variant, the Fleet Ra'nodaire Support Carrier Warbird

Notes

• While the overall design of the support frigates is shared between the various craft, each variant uses their faction's traditional weapon types - Tetryon (with Photon torpedoes) for the Caitians, Plasma (with Plasma torpedoes) for the Romulans, Disruptors (with Photon torpedoes) for the Klingons, and Polaron (with Photon torpedoes) for the Jem’Hadar. Both Klingon and Romulan variants employ cloaking devices.
• The ability to equip these pets on any Scimitar-type Dreadnought Warbirds was added with the August 11, 2021 patch.
• Malem Support Frigates included in the Ra'nodaire and Fleet Ra'nodaire's standard equipment are an outdated version that can only be equipped on full carriers. Players intending to use these pets on a Scimitar-type Dreadnought Warbird will need to acquire a fresh copy of the hangar from a starship equipment vendor.
