Intrepid Class



Type: Light Cruiser

The Intrepid class represents a departure for Starfleet away from large, complicated starships like the Nebula and Galaxy classes toward constructing smaller and more efficient vessels. Like the Galaxy Class, the Intrepid class incorporated a series of new developments intended to make the ship as effective as larger ships with a fraction of the resource and crew requirements. The class was designed to reach distant star systems and fulfil a variety of mission profiles, including exploration, survey, courier and even interdiction. Atmospheric landing capabilities allow the Intrepid class to make planetfall for repairs or to conduct extended scientific missions. Intrepid Class ships are also well-armed for their side and make good quick-hitters.
