In terms of mission design, deploy these at the outer edge of their effective range, and this will force the other side to either commit to a full-scale battle or retreat. However, Narayanas are highly vulnerable to coordinated strike craft, shock-jump tactics, or charges from superior numbers of ships. As such, Narayanas should be accompanied by a good fighter screen whenever possible, and they should be used as fire support rather than a front-line brawler, even by UEF standards. When facing a Narayana at long range, one should constantly perform maneuvers to keep one's turrets "on the move" so as to dodge incoming gauss and mass driver rounds--even if such maneuvers are as simple as rolling in place.''

 The Narayana heavy frigate eventuated from this, essentially taking design elements of the Karuna and expanding on them. The hull was lengthened to accommodate a greater fighter and shuttle hangar capacity. Mass driver and gauss cannon firepower was augmented and concentrated forward. This meant the frigate's entire offensive fire could be brought to bear at a single target, in contrast to the Murugan whose turrets divided her firepower across multiple vectors. Point defenses were weaker than the Karuna's as a result of the expanded main battery but it was anticipated the Narayana's greater fighter carrying capacity would make up for the shortfall.
-The heavy frigate was built when the only hardened targets the Federation Navy had engaged were old System Rim fortresses commandeered by the Gaian Effort, with the occasional armed mining ship pushed to service as a capital ship. When the GTVA launched its invasion of Sol, Narayanas proved completely inadequate to counter the advanced beam weaponry of TEI corvettes. Many frigates were lost during the opening stages of the conflict. In what would later be memorialised as a particularly inspired act, Admiral Netreba of Mars' Second Fleet authorised a massive refit of all Narayana frigates, installing specialised artillery weapons capable of engaging hostile targets at extreme range. Federation forces have since won several key engagements where the frigate's artillery played a significant role in forcing Alliance warships to withdraw from combat.

 The refit Narayana would serve with great effectiveness throughout the conflict with the Alliance. However, the long-range guns took up space otherwise occupied by fighter hangar facilities - the artillery frigate would no longer be able to house fighters within its diminished hangar. Because of this they would prove to be vulnerable to strikecraft attacks, shock jumps and cruiser groups, which aggressive, dynamic Alliance commanders were able to exploit ruthlessly.

 The '''UEFg'' Narayana''''' is a frigate class of the [[United Earth Federation|UEF]] in [[Blue Planet]].
 ==Description:==
 ===Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description===
 Heavy frigate class originally designed to engage large capital class vessels in mid and close ranges where the Karuna's firepower and armor would be insufficient. Advanced beam weaponry deployed by the GTVA, and the loss of many frigates, including several Narayanas, made it clear that the firepower of currently deployed frigate classes was not enough to counter GTVA warships. This led to a massive refit of all Narayana class heavy frigates into artillery frigates capable of engaging hostile targets with specialized artillery weaponry from extreme ranges. Since the introduction of refitted Narayana, the UEF forces have won several key engagements where Narayana's artillery weaponry played a significant role in forcing GTVA warships to withdraw from combat.
