Description and Notes
Fleet data:
The U.S.S. Centaur was the first experiment of this variant starship design, built from salvaged parts from the Dominion war, so much of the technology is not new.  The Centaur-class was designed as a Medium Cruiser and patrols the borders between Federation and Dominion territory.

Noteworthy vessels / service records / encounters: U.S.S. Centaur, only known variant.  Plans for further development depend on other ship casualties in the war.

Author's Notes
The above statistics are taken from the previous design from the Shipyard section and modified after reading the DS9 Technical  Manual.

Editor's Note
As Andrew indicates, we have another interpretation of the Centaur-class here at TrekRPGNet.  Be sure to check out Colin K. Smith's version.
