Federation Fast Cruiser

Three ships of this class were built before the General War to act as fast raiders. They gave up half of their photon tubes (replaced with phasers) to gain a faster speed. They could outrun anything but another "fast" warship. In the first week of the Klingon Invasion, fast raiders Eagle and Wolverine went behind the Klingon fleet to attack the convoys with their fuel and reloads, buying precious time for Star Fleet to get its act together. Stingray was assigned to the Romulan border and lost during a deep raid in Y178.

The ships of the Starline 2500 series are cast in pewter, have supremely high detail, and are in a larger (1/3200) scale than the earlier, metal 2400 series of miniatures. The ships of either series will work with Star Fleet Battles, Federation Commander, A Call to Arms, or Starmada.
