These versatile [[starship]]s have also been known to perform the roles of [[patrol ship]]s and [[scout]]s.

Once landed, that formed the [[Jem'Hadar]] could land troops from the warship from a large access hatch on the belly bulk of the ship. While capable of making planetary descents, they were not capable of conducting battle maneuvers while in [[sub-orbital flightDominion]]fleet.

Despite this, they still heavily out-gunned the smaller Federation vessels.

== Technical Specifications ===== Size ===This type of Jem'Hadar ship is approximately the same size as a [[Image:Vorcha class destroyed.jpg|thumb|left|Result Klingon Bird-of kamikaze attack on [[Vor'cha class-Prey|Klingon attack cruiserbird of prey]].]]Outside of conventional weapon use, these ships were also used and is generally accepted as being 360 feet (110 meters) in performing [[kamikaze]] attacks on enemy vessels, which allowed them to inflict more damage than their weapons alone could performlength.

The deflector technology that was employed by Despite this, they still heavily out-gunned the attack ships was impervious to [[tractor beam]] locks. This form of deflector technology was unknown to smaller Federation [[science]] as of late [[2370]]. The shields of a Jem'Hadar attack ship were weakest at the ships' dorsal field junctionvessels.

In addition, [[cloak]]ing technology would not reliably hide a vessel from a Jem'Hadar fighter's sensors because they used fighters were relatively easy for a form of {{MA|Antiproton_beam|antiproton beam}}large starship to destroy. This technology was later advanced to include a form of A few solid [[phaser]] or [[long-range tachyon scannerPhoton torpedo]]hits were enough to cripple or destroy one, therefore, they usually operated in groups of two or three during routine operations, which was capable and in much larger swarms in large battles so that the loss of penetrating a starship's cloak from a great distanceone or two would not make much difference.

This technology was later advanced to include a form of [[DS9 Season 2long-range tachyon scanner]] and following appearances, beginning with The Search, Part I in [[DS9 Season 3]]. Initially it which was given capable of penetrating a blue glow, but this was later changed to purplestarship's cloak from a great distance.

This model === Interior design later appeared as one ===Such fighters were typically commanded by a [[Vorta]] and a Jem'Hadar "First." The [[bridge]] had no chairs, and only two head mounted [[virtual display device]]s instead of many starships created as a [[Star Trek Micro Machines|Micro Machineviewscreen]].

Adjacent to this position were several stations pointed inward, facing towards the command position.

==== Size ====According to a note "for future reference" found in the script of "The Jem'Hadar"attack ships lacked numerous amenities that were otherwise taken for granted on Federation starships, "''this type of Jem'Hadar ship is approximately the same size as a including an [[infirmary]] and [[Klingon Bird-of-Preyreplicator|Klingon bird of preyfood replicators]]''," which is generally accepted as being 360 feet (110 meters) in length.
