These attack ships are designed to work in conjunction with Typhon-class carriers introduced at the same time. The first testing of the design came in early 2377 when the USS Typhon and Valkyrie Squadron became involved in the Titan System Incident. | |||
After the initial engagements with the Kam'Jahtae menace, several variants were gradually developed. | |||
Three training prototypes are in use. They are armed with twin Type-X phasers, pre-set to pulse mode, and a single torpedo launcher that carried photon torpedoes. Although normally carrying ten each, a fighter could load special modules via tractor beam to load ten more. The modularity carried on to the Valkyrie-class fighter.The Atlantis currently carries modified variants of the mark 1 design. | |||
