==Description==
This class of starship is constructed by [[User:Shipbuilder|The GalTech Industries Corporation]] exclusively for Starfleet. The ships are designed to combine both long-range exploration with a substantial military capability. Due to the exclusivity deal in place with Starfleet and the huge production costs these vessels are not available to any organisation other than Starfleet nor are they available as player ships.

==Standard Equipment==
:Forward military laser
:Rear military laser
:Shield Boosters
:Military Shield Enhancers
:Extra Energy Unit
:ECM
:Fuel Injectors
:Fuel Scoops
:6 Escape Pods

==Ship Variants==
The ship is available as an npc (non-player character) ship only. These vessel’s primary role is exploration and therefore they are typically encountered investigating systems. Their remit does not include the enforcement of local or galactic law and hence they will not attack other vessels except in self defense

==Minimum Requirements==
