Phantom Star Patrol Cruiser

The Phantom Star class Patrol Cruiser is perhaps one of the most wisely used and long lived designs in the Imperial Dominion Starfleet. It is the last of the pre-resonance powered starcraft to still be widely employed by the fleet. Using the older but incredibly reliable Tridon Tachyon propulsion and weapons systems, this ship, although not as fast as a resonance powered craft, can still travel at incredible multiples of the speed of light. While not as graceful looking or esthetically pleasing vessels, it still carries enough massive firepower, and has enough speed and maneuverability to make it perfect for its role as a patrol vessel for both intra and inter stellar use. It lacks the crystalline hull of newer ships and was the last Dominion design to be built with an all metal hull. Model created, skinned and rendered in Carrara 4. Textures created in Paint Shop Pro 9. No post work.
