rdfs:comment | - The Centaur-class was a type of Federation starship that saw service during the 24th century.
- The fourth C subclass dropped the 4" guns of her predecessors entirely and sports five 6" guns instead, together with two 12-pounders. Their displacement has decreased and the armour protection was slightly downgraded, but their top speed reaches 29 knots again.
- Built in the 2320's, the Centaur was a forerunner of the Sabre-class. Intended to operate with the Ambassador, Excelsior, and Miranda-classes, the Centaurs where to act in the role of scouts and conduct general support missions during fleet actions. They where designed to be very small and agile, and as a result the Centaur has limited weaponry and a relatively poor standard of accommodation. This has prevented them from being used regularly on long duration missions, a problem which recurred with the Saber-class.

abstract | - Built in the 2320's, the Centaur was a forerunner of the Sabre-class. Intended to operate with the Ambassador, Excelsior, and Miranda-classes, the Centaurs where to act in the role of scouts and conduct general support missions during fleet actions. They where designed to be very small and agile, and as a result the Centaur has limited weaponry and a relatively poor standard of accommodation. This has prevented them from being used regularly on long duration missions, a problem which recurred with the Saber-class. The hull form of the Centaur clearly shows the ship to be a contemporary of the Excelsior/Ambassador generation. Her nacelles are large for a ship of this size, a feature she shares with the Excelsior. She is equipped with phaser banks rather than arrays - Starfleet has attempted to refit the Centaur-class with phaser arrays several times during their life span, but has consistently been refused the necessary resources. The Centaur is equipped with two torpedo tubes, one forward and one aft, and a limited stock of reloads. The Centaur-class has proved popular with her crews, but these ships are now nearing the end of their service lives and are due to begin retirement. However, the Centaur-class have been heavily involved in the Dominion War. It is therefore unlikely that any of these ships will actually be retired prior to the end of the war, unless serious age related problems begin to appear.
