Rapier class

The Rapier-class was a variant of Federation Saber class escort starship in service in the early 25th century. The Rapier represents a balance between the more traditional design philosophy of the Saber class, and the more radical-looking Andorian-inspired Ushaan class. 

History
The Rapier class was designed by staff from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers who served on the older USSDaVinci. It has several structural and functional improvements that the DaVinci's crew tested on Saber-class vessels during the Dominion War.

In 2403, the first ship of this class, USS Rapier was on its first mission on a routine trip through the Bajoran wormhole to survey several planets in the Gamma Quadrant. At the time, she contained technology that is now standard on Starfleet vessels.
