Description: The Federation fighter (or Federation attack fighter) was a type of fighter vessel utilized by Starfleet in the late 24th century.

In 2370, the Maquis were able to procure a large amount of these fighters as part of their fight against the Cardassians in the Demilitarized Zone. During the Dominion War, hundreds of these fighters were deployed in various battle fleets, most notably during Operation Return. (DS9 episodes: "The Maquis, Part II", "Sacrifice of Angels")

A large number of Federation fighters were also assigned to protect Earth during the Dominion War. During the Breen assault in late 2375, Federation fighters were scrambled to engage the Breen fighters that had entered Earth's atmosphere. (TNG short story: "Home Soil")
