Spitzer class

The Spitzer-class starship was a starship design that entered service after the Dominion War concluded. It was designed based on a "light but heavy" perspective. The ship was designed smaller than the, but with the same armament for purposes such as infiltration, scouting, and escort. Due to its small size, it can also be produced more.

General overview
The Spitzer-class was one of the first starship classes to be armed with an isinon-based energy diffuser array, or an IBED array. The new weapon allowed the Spitzer-class to temporarily disable part of a ship, usually used to escape tight situations, or make a ship unable to attack, move, or even correctly function.

At its time, the Spitzer-class was a prodigy in versatility. At a maximum of warp 9.5 for 14 hours, she was a great combination of speed and attack, though at the cost of survivability, which is made up for by its offensive potential.

Class history
The Dominion War was a Federation victory, though not without major casualties, which was a wake-up call for new and better designs for a war on a similar scale, a prediction proven correct by the Federation-Trigon War decades later.

Development and construction was conducted at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, entering service by 2378 with the USS Spitzer, and the USS Adversary, both proving effective in scout missions.

Physical arrangement
The Spitzer-class adopted the saucer-type primary hull, but was shaped like a rounded tall trapezoid, somewhat like the. Its secondary hull is like a 's secondary hull, with a nacelle extending from the top and bottom, with the bottom also fitted with a deflector dish.
