Speed is also key to the Apparition's mission success. The ship has been stripped of non-essential systems to lighten its mass and direct as much power as possible to its specialized engines, making it the fastest ship in Star Fleet. As a consequence, the Apparition lacks the standard offensive capabilities of most Star Fleet Vessels, having only one phaser bank for defense. The ship is not meant for combat and must rely on its speed and technology to evade attackers.<section end=Spotlight />

== Lineage ==
The USS Apparition first entered service in 2408 as part of a design for the Special Intelligence Services (SFSIS), a former black ops division of Star Fleet. Drawing heavily on research generated by Defiant class engineers as well as research from the Pathfinder project, the Incursion class was created as a high speed, low sensor profile vessel. It is only lightly armed and designed to rely more on its high maximum speed to escape from potentially hostile situations. This design feature was originally negated somewhat on the only ship of the class that has entered service. At the tail end of the construction phase of the Apparition, an experimental, highly illegal, and extremely expensive phase cloaking device was added to aid in the ship’s ability to complete its clandestine mission profile. This phase cloak was derived from a continuation of the research conducted by the USS Pegasus.
