Ships of the Akira class are highly maneuverable and have superior shield strength for their size. The Akira can fire both photon and quantum torpedoes.
Weapons: 8 Phasers and 6 Torpedoes
Shield Rating: 15F 10A 10D 10V 10P 10S
Hull Rating: 9
Tactics: Rotate through the various phaser and shield arcs to take advantage of the higher recharge rate and wide arcs. Maximize speed to avoid torpedoes and pulse weapons. Avoid taking torpedo hits to the torpedo tubes, as all the torpedoes can be lost simultaneously. Use quantum torpedoes rather than photons if possible since they are both more powerful and more accurate. |

The Ferengi Marauder is a nimble class of ship that is best suited for hit and run tactics.
Weapons: 2 Plasma Bolts and 1 Phaser
Shield Rating: 10F 7A 5D 7V 5P 5S
Hull Rating: 10
Tactics: Rotate through shield arcs when systems need repair, but try to focus on forward attacks. When the enemy shields are weakened the ventral phaser can be used to target individual systems. Avoid exposing the dorsal shield as it is easy to hit and not as strong as the forward, ventral, or aft shields. The long-range tractors can be used to slow or hold a target to make it easier to hit with plasma bolts. |

The Romulan Warbird's elegant profile hides a vicious and deadly attack vessel.
Weapons: 1 Disruptor, 4 Disruptor Cannons and 2 Torpedoes
Special: Cloaking Device
Shield Rating: 8F 8A 8D 8V 8P 8S
Hull Rating: 24
Tactics: Keep the target in front of the ship as long as possible and cloak if the target is outside your firing arcs. The Warbird's large size makes it easy to hit with torpedo weapons, but it also allows the ship a higher survivability in ship-to-ship collisions. The weapons of the Warbird are vulnerable and can be disabled more easily than might be expected, but they are spread out and can't be taken out as a group. |

This ship is a hybrid of Cardassian and Kessok technology; it also has a few surprises of its own. The beam weapons are a mix of Kessok positrons and Cardassian compressors. For projectile weapons the Hybrid has high speed, high accuracy torpedoes and a powerful pulse weapon.
Weapons: 7 Beams, 3 Torpedoes, 1 Pulse
Tactics: Use the disruptor cannon as a deterrent to prevent ships from getting too close. Keep the enemy as far from the ship as possible since the positron beams and torpedoes have longer range than other weapon systems. Attacking enemy impulse engines can make the disruptor cannon more effective at hitting the target since the target ship becomes less maneuverable. |

The Kessok Light Cruiser has powerful weapons and uses repair and shield technology that is quite different from those of other races.
Weapons: 8 Positron Beams and 1 Torpedo
Special: Cloaking Device
Shield Rating: 14F 9A 27D 3V 9P 9S
Hull Rating: 6
Tactics: Avoid getting hit in the ventral shield and as often as possible take hits on the dorsal shield. Try to extend the range to other ships since the positron beams have much better range than other weapons. The positron torpedo can be used to scare other ships into maintaining distance so hold fire except when the enemy ships get close. Actively manage the repair priorities since the system can work very fast. Maximize forward speed when firing positron torpedoes as it makes them harder to outrun. |
