Production Base: ASDB Integration Facility, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars.The following specifications were given in the DS9 Technical Manual: Whatever its formal class designation, dialogue from "Sacrifice of Angels" suggests that it was considered a "destroyer"-type starship.įor further information on the studio models, see Centaur-type models. No further name was known it was generally referred to as " Centaur-class" or Centaur-type, and was considered a prototype. However, it has now been established that the original scale of the shooting model was much smaller and was based on the bridge section and other details from the Miranda-class Reliant model, not the saucer section.
It was listed as " Excelsior-class starship variant" in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual due to the use of the Excelsior saucer section. The Centaur was a " kitbashed" scale model created from the saucer section and warp nacelles of two AMT/Ertl USS Excelsior model kits and the torpedo rollbar and bridge from an Ertl USS Reliant kit. The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual describes this vessel as an Excelsior-class starship variant, describing it as being among the ships "constructed from salvaged components, components in work, and custom assemblies fabricated by the individual fleet yards." This class was equipped with phasers and photon torpedoes, and had a maximum warp speed equal to a Jem'Hadar fighter, of at least warp 7. The shuttlebay was housed directly forward of the bridge on the saucer, and faced fore, rather than aft. It did not feature a visible deflector dish or large engineering hull as was common on Federation ship configurations. The weapons pod was of the same configuration as the pod on the Miranda-class line of vessels. The ships's nacelles were connected directly to the pod.
Similar in design to the older Walker-class, this class featuring only a saucer section connected directly to a small secondary weapons pod, which housed photon torpedo tubes. A vessel of this class saw action during the Dominion War, and was represented in Starfleet's Operation Return, assisting in the retaking of Deep Space 9 from Dominion forces.
