Glad Vedressai

History-

The ISC, although somewhat lagging behind at 0Xl, while the other Alpha Octant Nations were at 1X or 2Xe in 2303, and only barely aware of this lagging, developed several new classes to supplant significant Cruiser and Destroyer Classes, the most powerful being this ship, the Glad Vedressai, the name being Veltressai for "Revered Beach Prophet in the Golden Gown", one of the Scions of Wisdom and Destiny in Veltressai Mythology, was a very durable, troopcarrying vessel which successfully supplanted two aging Glad Thomidens, as well as 8 Heavy Frigates operating near Gorn and Hassan space. 3 were completed, 2 in 2307, and 1 in 2308, all three immediately heading up the best Echelons operating farther out, the vessels fitted with Cloaks when the ISC joined the Romulan Republic in 2350, and retired and put in the ISC Manifest Destiny Museum in 2361.
