- You may be looking for the playable version of the Federation Escort.
The Federation Escort is a Starfleet escort design. Escorts are powerful warships, capable of dealing heavy damage in hit-and-run attacks. They are less durable than cruisers and science vessels, but compensate for this in maneuverability and stopping power.
The appearance of the Federation Escort depends on its level, though its armament and abilities remain the same.
