The Search tool said there are no matches, so here i am asking if anyone has made guesses or other determinations on the size of the MedStar-class frigate?

Thank you, Whill! That's something i found, when attempting to verify the D6 Conversion for the Clone Wars Campaign Guide, in which the Length of 250 meters is given.
Interestingly, the art from the non-canon novels seems to link it to both the Nebulon-B & Class-C frigates, while also reminding me of Bulk Cruisers.

At this point i see little reason to not go with the converted Guide's 250 meters figure. I'd been hoping for something more definitive, but this at least works.
Thank you.

I don't know exactly why, but my personal conversion from years ago has it listed at 425m. I think this might potentially be to disambiguate it from a Nebulon B hospital ship, but potentially also because in my house rules I segregate capital ships into Picket/Escort/Cruiser/Battleship/Dreadnaught (in order to give some extra weight to players that have tried to take a corvette against something big, or are in command of something big for the adventure as in graveyard of Alderaan).
..additionally, there are SO DANG MANY 300 meter ships!

Have you shared your write-up in a forum post? If not, then by all means, please do!
Your curious figure of 425 meters triggered something in my grey matter, so now i'm cooking up a few ships of that size, plus a few others...
Here's some WIP Core Galaxy Systems ships for SWTOR & later eras, which are made by Czerka & others, up to the Clone Wars...
TH-22 Bulk Cruiser, Length 425 meters
BF-19 Bulk Frigate, Length 300 meters
IQ-2 Bulk Corvette, Length 155 meters
Why "SO DANG MANY 300 meter ships"? They're cheaper than Star Destroyers, but more intimidating than corvettes. Also, smaller Crew requirements...

Since it looks similar to the nebulon b, and the nebulon b is called a "frigate" - I would say about 300, which is the size of the NB.
Of course, star wars is not known for its .....accuracies (some of the stats in various books are ...special) but hey - close enough in my book.

Looks a lot like a Nebulon-B, which is 300 meters. So I say that.

Just without the 'dangly' bit under the front part of the ship.
