  • The K'Ehleyr is a Task Force asset, and any member and writers in Task Force 72 may feature it in their stories.
  • As a versatile and long-range vessel, she could be deployed to almost any point in or near Federation space.
  • She is a generalist ship, meaning that she can provide a wide range of support to your fiction. She is relatively fast, maneuverable, well-armed and well shielded, making her an excellent choice for tactical missions. In addition, she has a flag bridge and is more than capable hosting a flag officer and coordinating medium-level fleet activities. Rounding up with generous holds and respectable medical facilities, the K'Ehleyr is a sensible choice to provide engineering support or humanitarian aid missions in hostile spheres of operations.
  • While it would take more than a minor threat to endanger a ship of her size, the K'Ehleyr is also not so impressive that she cannot play a support role for larger or more specialised vessels on their missions.
