Livery In the 25th century, the design of the Guardian-class intel starship/guardian cruiser allowed its commanding officer to choose from different designs of livery, which could be modified further at starbases. These options were designated Guardian Type 1 and Type 2, with each having the additional option Type 1-7, Upgrade and Veteran. (STO - "The Klingon War" mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
