Attack ship
The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship (alos know colloquially as bugship or Jem'Hadar Fighter)is the most common type of Dominion warship. It serves a variety of roles, from reconaissance to fleet support and personnel transport.
Physical description
The Attack Ship vaguely resembles a beetle, giving rise to their "bugship" nickname. It consists of a compact primary hull with two small nacelles; their underside has a distinctive purple glow. The size of this vessel is unclear with official sources giving a lenght of under 100 meters while visual evidence suggests sizes up to 150 meters.[1]
Features and abilities
Attack Ships have a spartan interior. They have no viewscreen, no chairs on the bridge, no dedicated medical facilities and minimal crew accomodations.[2]
Their main weapon is a polaron beam (sometimes referred to as a phaser), complemented by a form of torpedo. They posses shielding, though this has proven to offer minimal protection even against the disruptors of the comparatively weak Bird of Prey.[3]
Attack Ships are capable of surviving an uncontrolled re-entry and crash landing with extensive, though repairable, damage.[4]
Their transporter and sensor technology is significantly more advanced than that of the Federation, easily bypassing shields and detecting cloaked vessels.
