The Meteor class starship is a new prototype vessel designed with the fusion of reconnaisance and light defense capabilities in mind. It is a small craft carrying a crew of no more than 50. The Meteors are designed for use in the border regions of Federation, keeping constant vigil for enemy activity. The ship carries a generous armament for its size if combat becomes envitable and also incorporates a powerful warp engine that allows it to sustain warp 9.0 for up to 48 hours to reach communications range of the nearest outpost should an insurmountable foe appear. Maximum sustainable cruising speed is warp 8.8. Two shuttlecraft are docked in its bay, ready for use in potential scientific or military expeditions. Meteor-class vessels have three, rather cramped decks.
Its armaments include: (higher the type number, higher the energy)
