As such, the class has nearly unparalleled maneuverability for a ship of its rate. This is paid for by a lack of range, cramped crew compartments which do not even afford all personnel with their own bunks, and virtually non-existent scientific research equipment. | ||

===''Diligent''-class Warship=== | |||
The next-generation escort vessel, the ''Diligent'' has more range and sustained endurance in a fight than the ''Defiant'' or ''Thunderbolt''. While not as hard-hitting as her predecessors in a concentrated forward attack, ''Diligent'' has the ability to sustain a higher sustained rate of energy transfer to her weapons systems and to engage more simultaneous targets than either. This means that her combat effectiveness is higher. The addition of limited point defense capability and enhanced electronic warfare systems also make her much more effective in preventing damage to ships that she is escorting. | |||

Too small for a multi-mission pod, the primary hull of the ship has interchangeable modules that allow reconfiguration while in space dock. This capability allows the ''Charon'' to be the most versatile of the small ships in the Federation inventory. | ||

While bearing 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 abilities. 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. | ||

It also carriers a number of support combat shuttles. It is a warship with substantial shielding and ablative armor, but it is not intended to combat other large warships and invariably is accompanied by escort ships. | ||
