The primary armament of the Paris-class is single a Mark II light-coil Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. The ship is equipped with a Starwerx K-2A12 translight engine featuring a Series IV CODEN field generator. Sublight propulsion is provided by two primary S-400 series, and two secondary K-85 series impulse drives. The Paris-class is powered by a pair of F3H Naval fusion reactors. The Paris-class features two ventral hangar bays that are each capable of launching and retrieving two dropships or other smallcraft, such as shuttle pods. Like all UNSC frigate classes, the bridge module has its own life support that will function even if the rest of the ship is crippled. The ships are outfitted with an extensive sensor suite that uses a combination of laser and radar scanners for actively detecting and tracking targets, while monitoring surrounding space for anomalous energy sources. Due to their heavy armament they can be used both as escorts for larger capital ships and for rapid offensive engagement. At 535.05 meters in length, the Paris-class is smaller than the Charon-class assault frigate, but is more heavily armed and armored.
