Star­fleet Report­ing Ref­er­ence: V7

These war­birds have been detec­ted oper­at­ing along the Romu­lan side of the Neut­ral Zone since the late 2280s. Hard data is lim­ited to that obtained through long range scans, but they appear to oper­ate in a sim­il­ar role to Star­fleet’s light cruis­er classes, per­form­ing short patrol and research mis­sions. Like the lar­ger Vas’de­letham-class war­birds, they dis­play the Star Empire’s remark­able tech­no­lo­gic­al pro­gress since its return to galactic polit­ics three dec­ades ago. The primary weapon sys­tems appear to be based around the same dev­ast­at­ing plasma torpedo/cloaking device com­bin­a­tion first seen dur­ing the Neut­ral Zone Incur­sion of 2266. One oddity noted in intel­li­gence reports is the appar­ent lack of a matter/antimatter power sig­na­ture, and ana­lysts are not yet able to explain the class’s power source.
