Starfleet Intelligence also has a small fleet of ships, called Project Looking Glass. These ships are under the command of a Director, who is under the authority of the local Fleet Captain or Admiral. These ships, mostly older classes like the Mirandas, have been rebuilt from the keel up to incorporate the latest in sensors and stealth technology. Designed to deflect sensors and diffuse weapon locks, the ships hulls over their armor have been coated with a material to almost render the ships invisible to sensors and almost impossible to track. The only way to see the dark hulled vessels is if you happened to be looking out a viewport at extremely close range. They are equipped with advanced weaponry, but their role is not to fight...theirs is to survive to return with the information they have gathered. | Starfleet Intelligence also has a small fleet of ships, called Project Looking Glass.

They are further equipped with advanced computers to quickly analyze and collate information and dispense it in real time to covert operators in the field. Fighters also operate from these ships, able to penetrate enemy defenses and carry out sensitive operations in less than friendly space. A classified number of operatives also use the ships as a base of operation. | They are further equipped with advanced computers to quickly analyze and collate information and dispense it in real time to covert operators in the field.

The ships were all taken discreetly from the Starfleet Reserve Fleet depots throughout the quadrant, with the former name of the ship stricken from the records, a veritable Ghost Fleet. The ships do have new names, but even that information remains classified. The ships squawk no ID, and navigation lights are dark. There are six of them, spread around the Alpha and Beta quadrants. | ||
