As a scout ship, the Blackbird class has assignments within major fleet operations as well as independent missions. The ships exceed the performances of their outdated predecessor types by far, concerning speed (Warp 8.3) and weapons (5 phaser arrays and 3 photon torpedo tubes). Ships of this class operate on either side of the Federation border. Due to their high velocity, the ships could easily outrun Cardassian or Tholian pursuers (or anybody for that matter, save for the Borg or Q). There are 42 vessels in this class still active, and decommissioning is not far away as the Chimera class is beginning to prove its superiority over any known scout vessel.
