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.
Class variants
Class | Information |
---|---|
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Saber class Escort is a late 24th century model, brought into service to combat the Borg. The design saw extensive action in the Dominion War, where Starfleet officers enjoyed its heavy armament and compact target profile. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Rapier-class Escort represents a balance between the more traditional design philosophy of the Saber class, and the more radical-looking Andorian-inspired Ushaan class. The Rapier class was designed by staff from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers who served on the older U.S.S. da Vinci. It has several structural and functional improvements that the da Vinci's crew tested on Saber-class vessels during the Dominion War. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Ushaan-class Escort takes its name from the traditional Ushaan, a historical Andorian duel to the death. The name is fitting, given the design's similarity to the ushaan-tor mining pick the duel is named for. | |
SKIN UNLOCK: Gladius Escort Refit, 37,500 The Gladius class is a variant on the Saber class that saw extensive action during the Dominion War. The Gladius has an updated look and technology for Starfleet captains in the 25th century. | |
Mirror |
SKIN UNLOCK: Mirror Saber Escort Retrofit, A Tier 5 Mirror universe counterpart of the Saber. In the ship tailor the saucer and hull are Ushaan and nacelles are Rapier. |
