The Antares-class was a type of spacecraft used by the Bajorans and the Cardassians as transports, freighters, and low-capability warships during and after the Occupation of Bajor.

History

The Bajorans frequently used Antares-class carriers to make routine stops at Deep Space 9. They carried Bajoran civilians, government officials, Vedeks and occasionally even the Kai. Jake Sisko and Nog used to enjoy watching the Bajoran girls among those disembarking from these vessels at the stations airlocks.

Technical data

Antares class vessels varied in specification. The carrier belonging to Orta was described as "old and obsolete", limited to half impulse and lacking visual communication capacity. It could land on a planetary surface. The ships operated by the Bajoran Militia were also limited to impulse speeds. (TNG: "Ensign Ro"; DS9: "Shadows and Symbols")

Some Antares-class transports were warp-capable and equipped with multiple holodecks and lifeboats. Their passenger quarters came in different sizes, with the double accommodation featuring two beds, tables, chairs, and computer terminals. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
