2.2.5 Cardassian Fast Attack Ships and Destroyers

The Cardassians employ two types of smaller ships, Fast Attack Ships and Destroyers, not often used by Starfleet. Destroyers are military vessels generally smaller than Cruisers, but larger (and more heavily armed) than a Frigate. Fast Attack Ships are, basically, smaller, sleeker, faster Destroyers designed primarily for perimeter defense, patrol, and rapid response missions. Unsurprisingly, the Union refers to Fast Attack Ships maximized for perimeter defense as “Perimeter Defense Ships”; they correspond, at least in part, to Starfleet escorts used for perimeter patrol missions. The Central Command technically classifies the Hideki class Fighter as a Fast Attack Ship.
