Black Hole

The Black Hole-Class was based on the Rigel-Class Heavy Scout, making use of a pair of Transwarp Engines for "normal" use, and a pair of smaller Ultrawarp Engines, cleaned up for safe effects on subspace, or "VWarp" Engines to provide more power, and to move the ship for short bursts at up to Warp 9.99, while this was NOT the fastest speed of the 4Xe Era, the Black Hole was one of the faster ships, and with durability equal to a Nebula-Class, and use of the Powerful, but mass-heavy FH-24, or Type XI, the Black Hole Class functioned quite well as a dual-role patrol and exploration vessel, the last two being retired in 2450.
