Similarly to Pike men of the late Roman Empire, the Pikeman-class excels in defensive positions, preferring colonial defense and colonial fleet escort duties. While lacking a compliment comparable to the Deliverance-class or an armament on par to that of the Strident-class, the Pikeman shines in its versatility as it's armed enough to perform screening for larger ships, and a carrying capacity necessary to make a difference on the battlefield. Similarly to the Stalwart, the Pikeman balances the roles of troop transport and fleet support, however, with the multitude of advancements and lessons learned acquired from the Human-Covenant War. With the intent to replace the Stalwart over time, the Pikeman is expected to have over a decade to perfect its model and should experience multiple fine-tuned adjustments before a complete overhaul is announced.

The Pikeman-class Light Frigate is a type of escort ship in use by the United Nations Space Command's Navy as the final instalment in the line of post-war frigates.
