The Sho'vash class was a type of medical vessel that was fielded by the Cardassian Union during the 24th century. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 2: Starships of the Cardassian Union) The Sho'vash's design consisted of a fat crescent shaped command hull and an elongated tapering engineering hull that was similar to that used on the Galor and Keldon-class. On all four sides of the engineering hull were medical hulls that were similar in design but smaller as the ship's command hull. Typically they had three of these hulls dorsally and two on the other three sides, though some variants had differing numbers of medical hulls.
