History:
Developed as the 6th ship in the Perimeter Defense Initiative, the Iridani-Class was a shorter range 4Xe Gunboat that was a more practical, compact vessel using hullforms from some newer vessels, that made use of jefferies tubes and crawlspaces instead of turbolifts. The vessels are not suited for exploration or to do much of anything more than 20 ly away from a Starbase, and due to secter strategies, and subtlely changing range to deal with Cardassian, Jam'Hadar and the occasional pirate vessel, use of these short-speed Ultrawarp Gunboats managed to supplant monitors entirely.
Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: U.S.S Iridani; - Prototype, guarded U.S.S Lasalle and U.S.S Indi from desperate Maquis near Starbase 67 (2373), U.S.S Orca; - destroyed battling Jem'Hadar Strike Cruiser to a standstill (2375), U.S.S Jester; - part of MIDAS Array Defense Force (2377-2392)
