The ship is of similar size as the Intrepid and employs the same saucer hull. However, it is not equipped with variable geometry warp nacelles. Starfleet uses this ship as a short-range courier for high-risk/priority transports, so it is well armed for its size. The class is named after the U.S.S Yeager, a Saber-class frigate destroyed during the second Borg incursion.
