Description and Notes
Fleet data: A small ship designed for rapid production and intended for both exploration and light patrol duties. Its cost effectiveness and favorable reviews by Starfleet crews resulted in a great number of these craft being produced. These craft are frequently encountered on the frontiers but are also found patrolling the space lanes between the major planets of the Federation.

Noteworthy vessels / service records / encounters: U.S.S. Saber, prototype; U.S.S. Yeager, defended Sector 001 during the Borg incursion of 2373.

Editor's Notes
I like this ship mostly because of the very modest stats. There is little known about this class and the author has conjectured quite well.
