[edit] History and specifications

Authorized by the Perimeter Defense Directive in the 2360s, the Steamrunner-class vessels were designed for patrolling the Federation borders, responding to border incursions, and for intelligence gathering.

Steamrunner-class vessels crewed 200 officers and cremwembers, with room for up to 50 passengers or an additional 550 evacuees. The vessels measured 375 meters in length and had 18 decks. The Steamrunners had four standard personnel transporters, four emergency transporter stages and four cargo transporters.

The Steamrunner warp engines were rated to cruise at warp factor 6, with a maximum speed of warp 9.2 and maximum drive of warp 9.7. The Steamrunner impulse engines were capable of between .75 to .95 the speed of light at upper limit. The Steamrunner weapons had a full 720-degree firing arc of type X phaser emitters, and two torpedo launchers with forward, and aft firing arcs and a normal loadout of 250 photon torpedoes. Steamrunner ships were defended deflector shields and ablative armoring. (TNG roleplay module: The Price of Freedom; ST roleplay module: Starfleet Operations Manual)
