One of the central tenets of the Star Trek franchise is that Starfleet is not a military force and the tension between Starfleet’s exploratory and diplomatic mandates and the necessity to go to war for the Federation is one of the most fascinating parts of the series. Army has several such units that can be on their way to a combat zone within 18 hours of an order to deploy being given, even flying directly into hostile airspace to get boots on the ground when there are deadly situations becoming worse by the minute.
These forces are used in dangerous situations when dangerous events are changing rapidly and decisions have to be made fast. Fast Response Vesselsĭefense forces around the world today have various groups, vessels, and teams designated as “fast response” units. This time we’re going to look at four fast, hard-hitting ships from the 23rd century. Last time we looked at ships associated with the Andorian-dominated Blue Fleet.
Continuing from the first grouping that we posted on Tuesday, today we’re going to look at another set of spaceframes inspired by FASA’s Federation Ship Recognition Manual.
