Originally known as ''Valhalla''-class, the ''Asgard'' class represents a compromise design.  While bearning undeniable similarity to the ''Thunderbolt''-class destroyers, the designers of the ''Asgard''-class frigates opted for a more balanced approach.  Rather than dedicating shipboard systems to offense to the exclusion of all else, the ship design balances offensive punch, range, and scientific research abilties.  The tactical sensors on the ship are first rate and as capable of those aboard a ''Thunderbolt'', but concessions in other areas mean that the class does not mount as much offensive firepower as her destroyer-rated cousin.
