DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
The brainchild of Dr Jenna Lambert of the ASDB, the Trafalgar class Fast Frigate was originally designed for long range reconnaissance, fleet support as well as an eventual replacement for Starfleet's antiquated Miranda Class. Designed from the outset to be as manoeuvrable as possible as well as having a greater sustainable warp velocity that any current or proposed starship design. Its mission is to dart into contested space and perform detailed scans of the area charting routes and other pertinent data.
Due to the increasing tensions upon first contact with the Dominion, work was stepped up across the board; just in case. The information returned about the Dominion by the USS Defiant concerning the Dominion weapons ability to ignore a vessels shields prompted a late design change to be implemented on the Trafalgar prototype; the addition of ablative hull armour. This armour addition caused some problems due to the structural changes, such as a smaller shuttlebay and the removal of a torpedo launcher.
The ability of many Dominion vessels to enter a planets atmosphere and Starfleet's capital ships inability to follow prompted Starfleet Command to issue all Trafalgar Class vessels to be with an unusual array of atmospheric and high-yield capacity ordinance. This step was taken because the standard Type II torpedoes breaks up when entering atmosphere.
A total of sixteen vessels had been produced by the time of Cardassia Prime’s fall, and unusually only one vessel the USS Swiftsure had been lost.
During the many engagements that Trafalgar class vessels participated in, planners were rather surprised and pleased to find that these vessels acted like a cross to the mythical vampires of Earth mythology, for their phenomenal ability to destroy massive numbers of Jem’hadar Attack Fighters. This Class soon gained the nickname of “Flyswatters” amongst the wings they were assigned too.
Only one potential flaw has been found to date, it involves the acceleration modules of the impulse engines. At combat speeds, performing extreme high stress manoeuvres, micro fractures have been found around the warp pylon roots on some ships. Whilst serious, modifications to the SIF usually mitigates the damage until a permanent shipyard fix can be procured. Many engineers believe that the extra weight of the ablative armour may have something to do with this.
The only vessel to be lost the USS Swiftsure, was due to inexperience by her wing commander. Captain Gerdus of the USS Purdey, assigned Swiftsure to anchor a position within the wing that greatly restricted her manoeuvring room and speed. With these restrictions; the wings stallion was hobbled like a donkey, and was pounded by being where a heavier vessel should have been.
