Overview
It is the first set in the Escort category of playable starships that players in Star Trek Online are available to purchase if playing on the Starfleet faction. Escorts are focused around forward firepower and are one of the several Federation ship types that can equip Dual Cannons, along with Destroyers, Battlecruisers and a host of others. Escort vessels suffer from weaker shields and hulls compared to Cruisers and Science Vessels of the same tier.
