"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." - Science Officer Spock The Antares-class carriers were antiquated transports used throughout the 24th century by the Bajorans, during and following the Occupation of Bajor. Some of these vessels were limited to half impulse and possessed no visual communication capabilities. In 2368, an Antares-class carrier was used to mislead Cardassian forces into attacking what they believed was a group of Bajoran terrorists traveling from Valo I to Valo III. The empty ship was escorted by the USS Enterprise-D, but would be destroyed by two Type-3 Galor-class warships, providing evidence that Starfleet Admiral Kennelly had been collaborating with the Cardassians. The Bajorans frequently used Antares-class carriers to make routine stops at Deep Space 9. They carried Bajoran civilians, government officials, Vedeks and occasionally even the Kai. Jake Sisko and Nog used to enjoy watching the Bajoran girls among those disembarking from these vessels at the stations airlocks. In 2369, a ship of this class departed from Alderaan Spaceport at Alderaan and docked at Deep Space 9. The ship was carrying several passengers to the station, including Ibudan, a Bajoran criminal. Pictured here is a replica of a Bajoran Antares class freighter. Comes with full-color collector magazine. #EMST0101 Dimensions: Features: Please note: We do not accept buyer offers.
