Laian Explorer

The Laian Explorer is a ship of similar size and technology to the Starfleet Constitution-A, and in that comparison it does not suffer too badly, having slightly less endurance and diplomatic facilities than the Starfleet ship but being notably cheaper in terms of rare resources.

Broad firing arcs from the multiple twin phaser banks allows the Explorer to remain competitive with current second-line frigates, but it is comprehensively outclassed by modern cruiser designs. A highly-trained crew of damage control specialists stand ready to respond to any malfunction or damage on board, no matter the source.
