Class Specifications
The Akyazi was classified as a "perimeter action vessel", being designed as a light vessel capable of patrolling the Federation border and engaging enemy vessels, driving them off or delaying them until a heavier starship could arrive at the scene of a battle to assist. The current Saber-class light cruiser would appear to fill a similar role.
Class History
This class was retired from active Starfleet service during the mid-24th century. Several ships of this class have entered into service in the Federation Merchant Service.
Class Speculation
This class of vessel has never been utilized in Star Trek "official" canon. It appears to be based upon a design in the book Ships of the Starfleet, Volume 2.
