History

With the retirement of the Steamrunner- and Norway-class] frigates at the end of the First General War, Star Fleet felt that no existing vessel could fulfill the role of fleet and planetary defense and commissioned the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers to build a small and agile replacement. Using a compact single-hull configuration that had worked for the Defiant-class and up-to-date technology, the Berlin-class was born.

With a pair of torpedo launchers mounted forward and a phaser array that would give all-round coverage, the small ship was perfect for hit-and-run attacks on larger vessels. Her high speed would allow her to race out of formation in a convoy to fend off attacking vessels, and her compact profile made her immensely difficult to hit in a combat situation. Currently, most Frigates are deployed in small flotillas to patrol Federation space, though a select few are deployed independently for short-range scouting or tactical missions.
