Galor class

Galor-class cruisers were the primary class of warship by the Cardassian military during the latter half of the 24th century.

Technical Data

Design

The Galor-class shared the same basic superstructure as their Keldon-class counterparts, but were used far more frequently by the Cardassian military. (DS9: "Defiant")

Commonly referred to as "warships" or "war vessels", this class was also designated by the Cardassians and the Maquis as "cruisers". (TNG: "The Chase"; DS9: "Past Prologue", "Defiant"; VOY: "Fury")

During the late 2360s, these warships had three sub-classes, with the Galor-class, Type-3 being considered to be "top of the line." (TNG: "Ensign Ro")

During the Dominion War, these vessels were classified by Starfleet as "destroyers", in relation to their Dominion counterparts. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")

Tactical systems

The arsenals of Galor-class warships vary, though typically they are armed with numerous phaser arrays. Although the Galor-class vessels were decidedly inferior to the Federation's Galaxy-class starships, they proved to be very effective against Miranda-class and other older Federation starships. (TNG: "The Wounded"; DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels", "Waltz")

In 2369, Captain Edward Jellico ordered a fleet of Galor-class starships to leave the McAllister C-5 Nebula one-by-one, ejecting their primary phaser coils. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")

In 2370, Cardassian colonists living in the Demilitarized Zone modified Cardassian shuttles, which they equipped with Galor-class phaser banks to protect their colonial interests. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")

The Galor-class was also utilized in the mirror universe by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance where they were described by Intendant Kira Nerys as being "quick and powerful". These vessels, however, were not without their weaknesses, specifically, their targeting systems could be easily fooled. (DS9: "Shattered Mirror") Subsystems Edit

In 2367, the Cardassian warships lacked the ability to read Federation starships transponder codes, while the latter had that ability. The Cardassians were granted this ability when Captain Picard gave Gul Macet the Federation's codes to track the USS Phoenix. Federation starships also had superior terminal interface systems. (TNG: "The Wounded")

-'''Capsule''': Galor class starships were the premier Cardassian warships of the 2350s and 2360s, including the most heated years of the Federation-Cardassian War and as part of the Dominion fleet in the Dominion War.
+'''Galor class'''
-The Galor class—named for a hooded warrior from Cardassian mythology—made up the bulk of the Cardassian fleet for at least three decades and despite their relatively small size compared to other races’ capital ships has always been able to hold their own in battle.
+Galor-class cruisers were the primary class of warship by the Cardassian military during the latter half of the 24th century.
-The Galor class was in service by the 2310s. In 2318, they were considered to be newer than the Selek-class.
+'''Technical Data'''
-The class served widely in the Federation-Cardassian War and the later Dominion War. However by the early 2370s their top status in the Cardassian Fleet was being usurped by the newer, larger Keldon class. The Keldon class design builds directly on the Galor class space frame and technologies so the Galor class legacy will likely continue for decades to come.
+'''Design'''
-The class saw many enhancements added into the design during the course of its usage by the Union. The latest version of the Galor class was known as the Type-3 version which was the first Cardassian ships which were outfitted with the Wave Cannon.
+The Galor-class shared the same basic superstructure as their Keldon-class counterparts, but were used far more frequently by the Cardassian military. (DS9: "Defiant")
-The Galor-class are small ships, but they have been able to match the capabilities of the Cardassian Union's neighbors thanks to the unique technologies employed and the work of the Obsidian Order in preventing other states spies gaining technical information on the class and its upgrades over the years.
+Commonly referred to as "warships" or "war vessels", this class was also designated by the Cardassians and the Maquis as "cruisers". (TNG: "The Chase"; DS9: "Past Prologue", "Defiant"; VOY: "Fury")
-The class employs impressively resilient shields which can comfortably withstand multiple impacts from phasers and photon torpedoes. Galor-class vessels, like many ships of the Cardassian fleet, also employ the uniquely Cardassian spiral wave disruptors which have proved a tactical problem for opposing vessels.
+During the late 2360s, these warships had three sub-classes, with the Galor-class, Type-3 being considered to be "top of the line." (TNG: "Ensign Ro")
-Unlike most Federation vessels the Galor class it not easily adapted to scientific missions but it still highly adaptable taking on roles as troop transports, escort ships, orbital assault platforms and blockade vessels.
+During the Dominion War, these vessels were classified by Starfleet as "destroyers", in relation to their Dominion counterparts. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
-In the late 2360s, Galor-class vessels generally had crews of approximately 600 and were outfitted with a compressor beam. The extreme end range of this era's Galor-class starship's weaponry was around 300,000 kilometers.
+'''Tactical systems'''
-By the time of the alliance with the Dominion, twenty Galor class vessels were equipped with Dominion transporters and sensors in order to incorporate Cardassian Central Command with the Jem'Hadar fleets. After Galor vessels such as the Trager, which eventually turned rebel, the practice was discontinued by the Dominion.
