Hardened Systems (operations)
The Adroit-class tender was developed in the mid-2360s, to provide Starfleet with a more flexible and responsive repair capability to large ships far from a starbase. The Adroit's powerful tractor beam array enables it to tow ships as large as a Galaxy-class explorer, while its extrnsive repair faciliities can fabricate almost anything the engineers need to repair Starfleet's most advanced vessels.
A hardy, yet relatively nimble vessel, the Adroit can travel to a disabled ship's coordinates, assess damage, and either make repairs on station or tow the ship back to starbase.
Thee ships of the class exist: USS Adroit, stationed in Sector 001; USS Dextrous, stationed in the Bajor Sector of the Alpha Quadrant; USS Grasp, stationed at Starbase 234 in the Beta Quadrant.

Although developed years before the Dominion War, the Chimera is one of the strangest-looking classes in Starfleet's inventory. Using a tri-nacelle setup attached almost directly to an Excelsior saucer hull, the frigate is designed as a "just-in-case" vessel. The class proved easy to construct and hardy in combat, if difficult to handle in flight.

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +3C -1H +2T
Traits: Enhanced System (phasers) (+1/0/0/0/0, reflected above)
A graceful, four-nacelle patrol vessel, the Cheyenne-class light cruiser is as large as many standard cruisers. A descendent of the venerable Constellation-class program, the Cheyenne was built to continue its predecessor's exploration role.
The Cheyenne mounted the new Class 4 sensor system, and was the first class to mount both the Mk 75 DF torpedo system and the FSQ deflector shield. Cheyennes often led smaller wings during the Dominion War.

Traits: Enhanced System (phasers) (0/0/+1/0/0, reflected above)
Prototype (shields, reliability +2)
Matching a Galaxy-class-like saucer hull with a retro Constitution-like engineering hull, the Freedom-class heavy frigate sports an odd profile. With it's extensive cargo capacity and "carrier"-like shuttlebay, the ship is often used for colony support and disaster relief missions.

{{Ablative Armor (+5 structure)}}
Nominally described as a "fast" cruiser, the Istanbul-class light cruiser filled a need for a ship that could perform reconaissance, scouting and exploration missions. Extremely useful and versatile, the class received frequent upgrades, including the addition of ablative armor in 2373.

Designed during a period of tension with the Cardassians, the New Orleans-class heavy frigate is a heavily-armed warship that shares many design elements with the Galaxy-class explorer. The class has recently received a weapons upgrade, but proposed upgrades to the ship's armor and shielding were shelved when power and space requirements proved too difficult to overcome.

Another vessel designed with Vulcan aesthetics, the Surak-class escort has a fast, sporty appearance. The escort has recently been relegated to duty in less-dangerous areas in recent years, given the power of more modern escorts.
In some circles, the Vulcan government is said to privately object to the use of the name "Surak" on a warship, and are pushing for the escort's premature retirement.

The Yorkshire-class armored transport is a small, compact troop ship designed to get a company of Rangers in and out of hot-spots quickly. Essentially an oversized and heavily armored shuttle, the Yorkshire replaced some of its standard armor with ablative plating in 2370, which proved invaluable in the Dominion War.
Many of the transports were moved to the reserve fleet following the war, and a small number are being refitted for a special operations role with the Rangers.

An all-purpose ship spun off from the Galaxy-class project, the Zodiac-class cruiser is often used for diplomatic missions. Many of these cruisers have been upgraded with more luxurious interiors to accomodate this mission.
The Zodiac has distinguished itself in battle, particularly during the Draconis IX Perimeter Action and in the defense of Vulcan.
