The Bader class scout was designed and con-structed by A’Alakor Landiss Inc, an Andorianshipyard. The class, however, is named after alegendary Earth figure, again showing the pow-erful influence of the UFP naming committee.The Baser is equipped with small civilian Starfleetvessels. The Bader class, however, normally has asmall civilian research contingent aboard to carryout research. In fact, the Bader class is the vesselnormally associated with the coveted SaganAward for research, in which a group of individu-als or a corporation receives the use of a researchvessel and its crew for a 2 year period for re-search contributing to the advancement of Fed-eration science. The Bader is an excellent vesselfor this purpose. The phrase “Flying a Bader,”heard often around research facilities near theannual competition time, originates from theseendeavors.

The Karekh is a Vulcan designed and built explo-ration vessel. It has two decks similar in configura-tion to the Mission class. One notable differencebetween this and other Federation vessels of itstype is its lack of weaponry. The ship does havegood deflectors, but they are for the protectionof the crew against unknowns rather thanagainst hostiles. The Karekh is used to exploreareas not deemed important enough to warrantlarge ships, or as initial exploration ships to deter-mine the need for larger vessels with extensivefacilities.

The Brenton was designed as a fill-in for the En-terprise/Constitution classes of cruisers. The Bren-ton is cheaper to build and cheaper to operate,having a much smaller crew. The Brenton alsowas designed more for combat than for research,though it does have some facilities on board. TheBrenton was designed for the older style warpnacelles, but was changed during constructionwhen the newer design became standard usage.The aft-firing torpedo caused may an opponentto think twice before attacking from the rear. Infact, when the Brenton class first saw combatwith the Klingons, the Klingons were allowed toapproach from the rear. The Klingons, seeing theperfect chance to attack, were annihilated atclose range by the “stupid, crippled Federationcaptains”. This action has caused the Klingons totreat the Brentons with respect.

The Sunshine class passenger liner is consideredthe most luxurious in the Federation. The serviceis the best, the staterooms are the finest, the gam-bling is honest (most of the time), and, naturally,the prices are the highest. The regular accommo-dation staterooms are affordable for most vaca-tioners, and waiting lists can be up to one yearlong for passage on a round trip ticket. Thesestaterooms are comparable to those found on20th century ocean-going liners. The Royal Suiteson the Sunshine class, however, have to be seento be believed. Some of these suites have private

The Sunshine class is equipped with deflectors ofminimal combat strength, instead of just the nor-mal navigational deflectors. Although these ships
do not operate in hostile area there is always therisk of pirates, so the deflectors were incorpo-rated into the design. No offensive weaponry iscarried for ship to ship combat, but hand weap-ons are carried aboard, locked in several smallarms lockers.

The Derf class is a medium exploration ship usedfor survey work. The circular top hull is four deckshigh. The uppermost small deck is the bridge. Thescond holds weapons, crew quarters, andlounges. The third deck has crew quarters andrecreation areas. The fourth deck is for recycling,fabrication, ships computers, and hydroponics.The lower hull is also 4 decks. The top 3 are 3.2mhigh, the forth is 9m. The top 2 are storage for-ward and engineering in the rear 1/3 of each.Transporters (2 6-man, 1 small cargo) are here.The 3rd deck is mostly parts storage, and the bot-tom deck is mostly open space. Shuttles recoverbuoys, then enter forward, where the retrievedequipment undergoes an “assembly line” mainte-nance routine. When repaired, a shuttle takes thedevice out the aft doors and replaces it on thenavigation route. Early warning sensors, bea-cons, and communications relay stations un-dergo the same treatment. Special shuttles withsmall tractor beams are used for this procedure.Vessels are named after historical places in theFederation.

The Chandley class Frigate is designed primarilyas a fighting vessel. The fore and aft torpedoesalong with powerful phasers make it a formida-ble foe indeed. And if the opponens lowersshields, either voluntarily or involuntarily, theChandley is ready. The class normally carries aMarine company for use as reinforcements foruse in boarding parties or for landing partiesplanetside. These Marines are housed in the“wings” of the vessel.
The Chandley carries the rare distinction of beingnamed after the company the built the class. Thisis due to the fact that the contracting company isowned by the descendants of Rear Admiral Tho-

This is a ‘muscle’ ship of the Federation. An An-dorian design, the ship is designed to movequickly to trouble spots and fight. The weaponryis not as formidable as it first appears however.The 8 phasers are not individually as powerful asthose on the heavy cruiser. The difference is intotal firepower. The ship is designed solely forfighting. There are no research facilities.
The main hull contains weaponry system con-trols, quarters, mess, recreation facilities, etc. The5m high small area atop the ship contains the
bridge and AC/water recycling equipment. Theconnector contains additional crew facilities, theengineering hull section contains warp controls,hydroponics, waste recycling, etc. The rear hullare contains the impulse engine room, additionalweaponry controls, cargo area, and shuttle bays.The Loknar class carries 2 shuttles, each with itsown landing and storage facilities.
Incidentally, some Vulcans do serve on Loknarclass ships, but there are no ships of this classcrewed predominantly by Vulcans.

It is one of the largest cargovessels in the Federation. Although a Starfleetdesign (Andorian, to be exact), the vessel is avail-able commercially. Few corporations, let aloneindividuals, can afford to maintain the large shiponce they have purchased it. In commercial use,the vessel is normally found on “milk runs” onwhich it can carry a guaranteed sold cargo inorder to at least break even.

The Enterprise class heavy cruiser is the old Con-stitution class heavy cruiser redesigned. After theold Enterprise returned from its 5 year mission, itreceived such wide acclaim that when the timecame for refitting it with new engines and equip-ment it was decided by popular decision that theEnterprise (the first to be refit) would be the newclass name. It will be noted that the weaponry ismore powerful than it was on the old class. Theshields are not any strong to any given side, butdue to power channeling redesign, more shield-ing power is available to all sides of the ship. Itwill also be noted that the new class is lighterthan the old even though the superstructure isstronger. This is due primarily to the new enginesbeing lighter than the old.
The dorsal weapons pod is the most noticeablephysical change (except for the engines). Thispod contains the photon torpedo facilities. Thevessel is also equipped with docking facilities tohandle the newer long range shuttles and repairpods. Other new Enterprise class vessels are be-ing built to replace those Constitution class shipsdestroyed or lost. These vessels will carry thesame names as their predecessors.

The Reliant class is a remake of the old Antonclass cruiser. The Reliant class was one of the firstvessel classes to be refit with the new style en-gines. One interesting note is that the engines onthe Reliant are the old constitution class engineswith the newer style outer nacelles. The Antonwas equipped with phasers (three banks of 2) asthe Constitution class was. With the refit, how-ever, the main hull phasers were dismantled insome of the vessels and left intact but unpow-ered in others.
The Reliant class is primarily a research supportcruiser, less heavily armed than ships like the En-terprise. The vessels are used in areas where hos-tiles or unknowns may be encountered but theresearch being performed does not warrant theuse of larger vessels. The class is equipped withlarger research facilities than the Enterprise, how-ever, and has large quarters for civilian researchpersonnel.
NOTE: The class vessel Reliant itself was de-stroyed in a battle with the Enterprise during theinfamous “Wrath of Kahn” incident.
Ship Recognition Manual: The Federation contains 14 vessels of the United Federation of Planets. All cur-rently available unclassified data for each ship is presented in this volume of the Ship Recognition Seriesalong with all information necessary to add these vessels to your game. The study of the Ship Recogni-tion Series is required at Starfleet Academy and has become a useful tool of all Starship commanders.This supplement includes ships such as the New Enterprise, Reliant, Larson, and many more.
