One of Starfleet's newest, therefore has the most advanced technology, but the lowest relative reliability. Very heavily armed. Has large outboard weapons pod, although this large ship is not as maneuverable as the small Defiant. Eight forward torpedo tubes. Extensive hangar deck capacity, suitable to serve as a carrier for small fighter craft. Has cowled warp drive system to reduce detectability by long-range sensors. A highly-trained crew is desirable because of the newness of the ship's design.
ABOUT THE STARFLEET SPACEFRAME PACKAGE:
Every approved Starfleet spaceframe assembly includes a standard set of structural and operational systems. For example: self-destruct and warp-core ejection mechanisms, lifeboat complement, Jeffries tube network, Bussard ramscoops, reaction control system, docking ports, and fluid handling systems. These and all other systems not specifically available for selection in this design program are automatically included in every starship design.
