History-
Another attempt to field new wartime Classes, a bizarre mix of old and new aesthetics and systems, the Mergus-Class made use of the PB-67 Nacelle Housing, and powerful Engines, as well as one of the Gatling Phasers, a standard arrangement of newer FH-8 Phasers, and a pair of FP-6 Photon Torpedo Tubes in a sturdy dorsal housing. The Ships were only in production as much as a typical Destroyer, and were highly useful in guarding Carriers, Space Control Ships and Dreadnoughts, the remainder of the Class being sold to the AOFW after the Utopianists' demilitarisation of Starfleet in 2300.
