Below are the various
support craft permanently attached to Deep Space 13.
There are currently 3 capital support vessels- USS TIGERSHARK,
USS PROTON and USS VALLEY FORGE- as well as several
fighter shuttlecraft and a ship repair facility capable
of handling all but the largest ZEUS-class battleships.
These vessels are simply
attachments to DS13 and therefore are considered NPC
ships. As such, other than a Flight Operations team
and a nominal Commanding Officer, no permanent crew
of their own are assigned- their crews are pulled from
DS13's own crew compliment. Flight Operations Officers
for the three attached ships, as well as regular pilots
for the fighter shuttlecraft, can be found on the station
manifest.
NOTE: The specific
makeup of the attached ships may change pending administrative
approval.

A cousin to
the Defiant class, the
Thunderbolt class is
the smallest starship in the
Federation inventory to mount
to offensive weapons of a destroyer.
As such, the class has nearly
unparalleled maneuverabilty
for a ship of its rate. This
is paid for by a lack of range,
cramped crew compartments which
do not even afford all personnel
with their own bunks, and virtually
non-existant scientic research
equipment.

At just over
half the mass of the Feynman
class, the Tsyklon class
offers a far more cost efficient
light, mobile sensor platform.
While not the equal of its larger
cousin as an exploration vessel,
the Tsyklon incorporates
most of the major advantages
of the larger Feynman
in a much more efficient vessel.

and small crews can match some
of the larger cousins spacefarmes
already at work in the field.

EW drones, sensors, navigations,
and computer networks.
