SALADIN CLASS

Destroyer
A FAR TREK TECHNICAL MANUAL
compiled by “Jester” and C.R. Brandon
History:
The Saladin-class starship was a Mk-VIII, class I destroyer type of Federation
vessel built in the 23rd century. Both the saucer section and nacelle of the
Saladin are identical to that of the Constitution-class, although the configuration
could hardly be more different.

The Saladin is one of the relatively few Starfleet designs to employ a single
nacelle configuration. The Saladin is a more militarized version of her sister class,
the Hermes-class. While the Hermes is a scout and therefore carries only 2
phaser banks, the Saladin is a destroyer and is armed with 3 phaser
emplacements (with two emitters each) and 2 photon torpedo tubes. This ship is
outfitted for a 9 year range at light-speed before overhaul is required. The first
vessels of this class were authorized in appropriations on stardate 0965.
Additional subclasses were later authorized, the Mk-VIIIA on stardate 3030 and
the Mk-VIIIB on stardate 4699. (page from the Star Fleet Technical Manual visible
in a display in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan).

The Saladin-class starship was seen on display in the Starfleet Academy's bridge
training simulator in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". It was one of several
ship's from the Star Fleet Technical Manual that appeared in a Trek production.
While this manual was once considered canon by the producers, it is now mostly
apocryphal, save for a few canonically spotted details, like this class. The
subclasses of this vessel were listed in the manual as the Mk-VIIIA Siva-class and
the Mk-VIIIB Cochise-class. All of the vessels listed as authorized for construction
in the manual (20 Mk-VIIIs, 10 Mk-VIIIAs and 26 Mk-VIIIBs) were named for
historical warriors of Earth history.
