The Bajoran starship was a versatile type of warp-capable starship utilized by the Bajoran Militia as an assault vessel, scout ship, and transport ship in the late-24th century. The Cardassian Union also used this type of vessel as an freighter during the war with the Klingons in 2372-73. Utilized by the Bajorans following the Occupation of Bajor for a variety of uses, specifically as a one-man scout and for transporting their soldiers in numbers as a transport vessel. Like the Antares-class carriers, these vessels frequently made routine stops at Deep Space 9 during the 2370s.
