| NOTES |
| A relative newcomer to the Federation fleet, the Falkirk-class was designed as a companion to the aging Akira-class. It boasts an impressive arsenal, and also serves as carrier for up to 100 tactical fighters, which can disembark via the large docking port on the bottom of the saucer. While the Falkirk is a common sight on the front lines during wartime, it is also a formidable presence during peacetime, as it is frequently used as a scout ship during long range exploratory missions. It is expected at least two Falkirk-class vessels will be assigned to expedition into the far reaches of the Beta Quadrant, currently slated to leave in early 2400. In addition to its tactical capabilities, the Falkirk-class is also a capable of holding multi-party negotiations on a limited scale, making it one of the most versatile vessels in the fleet. |
