The Galor class
is a group of starships used by the Cardassian Union. Galor class
destroyers have a low profile, are long and narrow and are usually
painted in a burnt orange color. The ship has a special raised
semicircular 'head' at the front, containing the bridge and command
section; this head contains one yellow impulse engine. The navigational deflector dish and forward disruptor
cannon occupy the bow; the deflector color may vary from blue to
yellow or orange. Two additional impulse engines, various disruptor
cannons and two warp engines are embedded in two large fin-shaped
extensions to port and starboard. A fork-shaped disruptor beam weapon
sits at the far aft protecting the stern. According to the non-canon
Deep Space Nine Technical Manual, Starfleet Intelligence believed that
63 new Galor class starships were built in an average year. The Galor
class starship is the backbone of the Cardassian fleet, much like the Excelsior class starship is to Starfleet, and formed the basis for the Keldon class starship.
In the episode The Wounded,
a single ship proved to be no match for the Galaxy Class Enterprise D,
though due to ships the following season being described as "type
III", it is unclear what the standard tactical value of the ship is.
The presence of subtypes may also help to explain the description of
the weapons systems variously as phasers, disruptors, and phase-disruptors.
In reality, the Galor class was designed by Rick Sternbach for Star Trek: The Next Generation.
