Sun Tzu Class

Type: Strike Cruiser

The Sun Tzu Class was developed in the late 2370’s as a hybrid between the Defiant Class and Intrepid Class, serving as a larger warship that would be designed to command a squadron of Defiant Class Starships. The ship was built with the expressed intention of supplementing the individually more powerful Prometheus Class with a, larger, more rounded vessel. The Sun Tzu is more tactically oriented than most starships, but she is still more than capable at exploration duties. The ship has equal tactical capabilities to the Prometheus Class and is in many ways a more refined version of the Prometheus, although the Prometheus is expected to remain in service for many years to come, however the Athena provides a happy medium between the expense and he capabilities of the Prometheus.

The Sun Tzu Class combines Speed with offensive capabilities, and as a result boasts a number of Phaser Arrays, although they are only Type X due to her relatively small size. The Sun Tzu is also capable of Multi-vector-assault-mode to provide her an edge in combat with multiple opponents. Her Shielding is good for a ship of her size, but her hull cannot absorb the kind of punishment that larger vessels can, and the general tactic is to use her excellent maneuverebillity.
