Vladivostok Class Marine Transport
The Vladivostok class replaces and supplements Starfleet's transport fleet currently consisting of considerably different ship designs some of which date back more than 100 years. The compact design is similar to that of the Sydney-class personnel transports, however, the Vladivostok class mainly serves to carry cargo, with accommodations for just 100 passengers. Due to its powerful and durable warp core and relatively high speed these starships are suited to operate at the Federation borders where they can serve as military supply vessels in case of a conflict. For this purpose the Vladivostok is also equipped with phaser arrays and photon torpedoes. These amendments were made in the final stage of the design, when the conflict with the Cardassians emerged. After a first batch, consisting only of USS Vladivostok NCC-46920 and USS Zanzibar NCC-46921, had been delivered, the production of further vessels was halted. It had been discovered that the plasma couplings would not withstand the peak power of the new phaser arrays. The power system was redesigned in later vessels, while the phasers of the first two ships of the class remained throttled.
After several older cruiser-type starships like the Miranda had been converted to cargo ships, the series production of the Vladivostok class was temporarily discontinued in the 2350's. It can be expected that more ships are going to be built in the 2380's when many ships of the Antares class and the Sydney class will reach the end of their scheduled lifespan. It was intended to develop a larger variant that can also transport settlers with bulky equipment, but this is most likely going to be no variant of the Vladivostok, but a completely new ship type.
