Chapter 24 - The Cardassian Groumall-type Military Freighter (Patreon)

As the ship got closer, my sensor resolution increased. Just as the information packet had told me, it was a Cardassian Groumall-type military freighter with a Cardassian name that didn’t translate well into English and one I really didn’t care about. Section 31’s data had a full breakdown of the ship type, including blueprints and technical schematics, which outlined its defensive weaknesses. It also included commentary and reports from Starfleet captains that had had encounters with this ship type during the war so far.

This ship had been built in the Cardassia Prime Orbital Three Assembly Facility, which I didn’t really see the value in knowing, but ok; Section 31 was a very, very detail oriented organization. It comprised five decks and had a minimum flight crew complement of four, though it could accommodate 30 plus flight crew and passengers if needed. It had a matter/anti-matter warp system, with two impulse systems and a maximum warp speed of 6.5.

It was 255.65 meters long, 55.13 meters at the beam, and 63.21 meters high. It’s armament consisted of four or more low yield spiral-wave disruptors, and one medium aft disrupter wave cannon. All of these weapons were underpowered for its size, most of the ship’s power going into the engines to haul huge amounts of cargo, which were oversized.
