Note: Information about Cardassian military craft is strictly CLASSIFIED. Stats used here are common knowledge among the Federation and their Allies. I will neither comfirm nor deny the accuracy of this data.
The Keldan Class Warship is a heavy cruiser that is rarely seen after many were lost in an unsuccessful preemptive raid in the Gamma Quadrant. Built on a Galor hull, the Keldan has a larger superstructure and distinctive lateral 'fins' to the rear. It also carries a crew of 500 unlike a Galor which only carries 300.
Two warp engines and two or more impulse engines provide the power and enable a speed of warp 9.6. And her strength comes from eight or more spirial-wave disruptors, a large aft disruptor wave cannon and other classified weapons.
With the exception of a height of 70.13 meters, the rest of the dimentions are the same as a Galor; length of 371.88 meters and width of 192.23 meters.
Important Notice: The beautiful two view illustration above is from the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Technical Manual by Herman Zimmerman, Rick Sternbach and Doug Drexler, published by Pocket Books, ISBN 0-671-01563-X.
