AHS Gallant

One of the few remaining Spiny Mouse-class frigates left in service, the Gallant serves House Tartresis as an occasional VIP transport and (it is inferred) as a special operations ship, with a crack crew and as high a concentration of capability as the ship's tonnage permits. Starfleet naval and intelligence officers with an opportunity to examine the ship have concluded that Gallant has been significantly modified, with multiple pieces of technology that were either still in development or unavailable for mass production during the Licori-Ked Peddah War.

Nevertheless, the ship is not considered likely to pose a serious threat to current-generation Federation designs, owing to the inherently fragile hull and limited endurance inevitable on such a small platform.
