Folighahrdel

History-

The Folighahrdel-Class is closely based on the designs of the Chandley-Class Heavy Frigate and S'Harien-Class Battlecruiser, like them, being developed from the keel up to use new 1X Technology, carrying troops, and being a larger war machine, viewed by some, including Admiral Kirk and Fleet Admirals Morrow and Nogura as being a real necessity, due to the Organians' no longer enforcing the treaty in 2276, and disappearing altogether in 2278, which with the Klingons and some rogue Gorn causing problems along the Frontier and in the Triangle, made the Folighahrdel-Class an essential, state-of-the-art, sturdy warship. Thirteen were built at Proxima Centauri, Tellar, Morena and Cait from 2277 to 2279.

The Class was speedily brought into service, but carefully tested. It's name is Centauran for "Warrior of the Undergrowth", a reference to a watcher of the Forest, who hides, uses cunning and guards both the forest and the pure of heart from beings of malice and spite, and indeed, many of the Shipyard workers, Crews and Marines even remotely involved with these ships view themselves as the arbiters of purity and preservation, gaining a lofty, somewhat arrogant view of themselves, and having this prick up against some of their fellows in UFP space. After they fought against the ISC and Andromedans, with one lost against each, one was destroyed as the Romulans were conducting bloodier raids in 2310, and two were converted into training ships, the rest performing minor Marine deployment exercises and patrols of previously neglected worlds, and the vessels being retired throughout the early 24th Century.
