History:
After the success of the Galaxy-Class and Olympus-Class, and the need to replace over two thousand older hulls, some of them over seventy years old, the Paladin-Class, like the Nebula-Class, using modular pods, and being landing-capable, with small shuttle and troop capacity, and with significantly improved, although slower FVWA-5 Ultrawarp, has been useful for short-range surveys, as well as escorting NCVs and minor courier missions, with more of them built following improved specifications and performing stellarly in the Dominion War, benefitting from Pulse Phasers and Quantum Torpedoes, having also Ablative Armor and being more durable in line with some of the lighter PDD Ships, such as the Steamrunner-Class and Saber-Class.
Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: U.S.S Paladin; - Prototype, tested new Class IX and X Probes (2366), intercepted Ferengi smuggling operation (2366), destroyed two Breen Warships (2375), U.S.S Clara Black; - escorted Minelayers at Nu Aurigae (2374), destroyed nine Jem'Hadar Fighters and Strike Cruiser at Veridas Skeet-Shoot (2375), U.S.S Trent; - destroyed over a hundred en fifty enemy vessels, and discovered Breen chemical and weapon buildup, as well as intelligence and science station (2369)
