The Pro'met Battlecruiser is an expensive hull that was only put into production
due to the conflict with
the Federation. A major alteration to the basic Galor design, the addition
of a second command hull facing aft with a pair of light compressors makes
the hull more able to face Federation starships on a ship to ship basis.
After the Federation conflict ended, this ship often served as a command
ship in Cardassian fleets until the production of larger ships in the
2360's
and 70's. When the Keldon and other hulls appeared this ship was relegated
to
providing little more than extra firepower to Galor Cruiser squadrons.
However, during the war with the Klingons, Bird of Prey type ships found it
easy to find arcs where no heavy weapons could be brought to bear. Once
the Klingons adopted tactics to exploit these blind spots, Pro'mets fell
rapidly to Klingon forces.
By the time of the Dominion War the Pro'met was out of production, and
there
are no plans for production runs in the future.
