The Saladin Destroyer is one of the more popular destroyer designs used by the Federation, and one of the first to use phaser technologies.

Few Saladin Destroyers were built until the mid 2250's when phaser technology became more common and practical. During this period, the Saladin proved itself to be a good local area defense.

During the period 2245-2255, consider the Saladin Destroyer to be a Limited Availability 33% unit.
