Heavily armed and armored, the Sharapal Frigate is the Ethcroi's primary combat craft. The sturdy, if not particularly inspired, design of the Sharapal has proved a relatively successful one, and the Imperium has chosen to retain several of these vessels for escort duty, despite having released the Ethcroi from their control. Imperial versions of this craft have been refitted with Turbolaser batteries instead of the Muon pulse cannons, and have had the interior of the ship redesigned for human crewmembers.

The Muon pulse cannons are a last generation of a dead end technology, and newer Chakh designs no longer incorporate these weapons. With that exception, the Sharapal is a ship that seems destined to last as long as the Chakh empire itself. Yaeger ships are often outgunned by the Sharapal cruisers, but the Ethcroi are one race that does not understand Yaeger swirling tactics, and will seldom win battles against approximately equal Yaeger forces.
