Hermes class: Difference between revisions

Created by the ''[[Saladin Class|Saladin]]/Hermes'' Design Project during the 2260s, the ''Hermes''-class ship is virtually identical to the ''Saladin''-class Frigate (lacking only two of its phaser banks and five of its crewmembers). Despite its size, Starfleet classified it as a Scout, and used it in that capacity. ''Hermes''-class ships patrolled borders, conducted reconnaissance during wartime, and performed initial surveys of unexplored systems and sectors. On occasion they also served as command and diplomatic courier vessels.
