===Capabilities===
[[Image:TacPhoenixPhoenixSchematic.jpg|thumb|right|Patrol ConfigurationSchematic View]]
In order to increase the power of the reactor, which, due to space issues, had certain limitations, a warp field regulator inspired by the NX class was implemented; the module was installed between the curvature nacelles, and regulated the shape of the warp field that would otherwise break down upon reaching higher warp factors. In early versions of the propulsion system, the Phoenix class achieved a maximum speed of factor 6.0 and a cruising speed of 4.6. Although with the different system updates, this increased to a factor of 8.7 at maximum speed and a sustained factor of 7.2.
===Mission Profiles===
From the first phases of development of the Phoenix-class it was clear that these ships had an operational profile far from exploration, but rather that they were going to be used in auxiliary missions for the different branches of Starfleet.
Starfleet Medical would initially commission the Phoenix-class for the delivery of medical supplies, engineering components or limited transfer of personnel. In initial plans, even cargo holds could be transformed into limited laboratories or intensive care rooms. Eventually specific modules were built for this, allowing their rapid exchange for emergency situations. As these modules were perfected and integrated, Starfleet Medical began using the Phoenix-class as "Ambulance Ships" or mobile trauma units, supplementing the Starfleet Medical's fleet of [[Olympic Class]] Hospital Ships.
The Starfleet Corps of Engineers would dedicate their Phoenixes to transporting repair teams to damaged or damaged ships in deep space, starbases, outposts, or those facilities that did not have the necessary personnel or material. As well as they are responsible for the regular maintenance of subspace communications stations. These ships usually embarked Workbees or a Sphinx Workpod for deep space repair operations.
