This was the ES-9 Stygimoloch Class Light Escort, introduced in 2/1811.14 (November 14th, 2276), 42 of these were produced, and saw heavy use guarding Freighters and bigger Warsihps from Romulan and more often Hassan opponents in the General War.

The MT-10 was an attempt to have an equal opponent to the 1X State-of-the-Art Heavy Cruisers fielded by the Federation, Klingons and Romulans (Enterprise, D-10, V-30), supplanting and supplementing some of the older Heavy Frigates with it's superior Troop Capacity. It had a Good, Strong Hull and Shields, and used it's wide-arc forward GBL-8 Blasters as a Primary forward "Lance" against a target, with 3 constructed in 2/1984.28 (June 28th, 2279), and serving right at the front in the deadliest General War Hotspots against the Romulans and Hassans, and one, the GCS Firestone, engaged an ISC Strike Cruiser in 2/2102.20 (February 20th, 2284).
