The Fleet Akira-class Heavy Strike Wing Escort (T5) is a Tier 5 (Level 50) Strike Wing Escort which may be flown by Starfleet characters, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.
Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 20,000 and 4 , so long as the player's Fleet has a Tier V Shipyard and one Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provision. If the player already owns the Armitage Heavy Strike Wing Escort from the Zen Store, the Fleet Ship Module cost is reduced to 1.
Overview[]
This type of ship was made popular by the Akira-class starship which appeared in both Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: Voyager. It contains one hangar bay capable of launching small crafts.
Class variants
Class | Information |
---|---|
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Akira class continues the design philosophy of the 22nd century NX class, albeit with its nacelles swung downward instead of upward. It retains the long, thin deflector at the front of its primary hull, the small secondary hull connected to the warp nacelles by pylons, and the long, thick stanchions connecting the primary hull to those pylons. In lieu of the long, thin deflector of the NX class, it has a forward hangar bay, and a standard deflector attached underneath the primary hull. It also has standard shuttle bays in the aft section where the NX class has its EVA staging area, instead of a vertical shuttle pod launching bay. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Oslo-class Heavy Escort is an upgraded and modified version of the earlier Norway-class ship. It has an elongated primary hull and lacks a secondary hull, instead having weapon hardpoints attached to the nacelle pylons directly. It shares the same nacelle design as the Nova-class Science Vessel. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Zephyr-class Heavy Escort is an upgraded and modified version of the earlier Steamrunner-class ship. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Thunderchild Heavy Escort Refit, 75,000 The Thunderchild-class Heavy Escort is a tribute to the U.S.S. Thunderchild (NCC-63549) which engaged the Borg in Sector 001. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Armitage Heavy Strike Wing Escort, 2,500 The Armitage class features low-slung, forward-swept pylons and long, tapered nacelles. Its saucer is built around a thick central spine that contains the deflector and elevates the bridge above the split hull. A battery of cannon apertures is concentrated in the nose, above and to the sides of the deflector dish. Torpedo and turret fire comes from the top-mounted launcher in the rear pylon. If made to use components from standard Heavy Escorts such as the Akira or Thunderchild, its size will shrink to match. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Alita Heavy Strike Wing Escort, 3,000 The Alita-class Heavy Strike Wing Escort is based upon the highly successful Armitage-class design. This new heavy escort has been built from the ground up to most efficiently combat the Iconian threat. |

The Fleet Akira doesn't come with any universal consoles, but it may equip the items from the Heavy Escort Modifications Set if owned.
Hangar bay[]
The Heavy Strike Wing Escort comes with built-in abilities that cannot be ranked up, and abilities that are based on the craft loaded into the hangar bay.
This ship can launch attack wings of Peregrine Fighters in its standard configuration, though other small crafts can be equipped to be launched. The carrier can also give commands to those craft to order them to attack or defend selected targets.

- Carrier Command - Attack
- Carrier Command - Escort
- Carrier Command - Intercept
- Carrier Command - Recall
Experimental Weapon[]
