Another bold breed of Destroyer-Type, built in limited numbers, and a few decades old now. This doesn't stop it from packing an awesome punch. Many of the prototype systems on this were a direct inspiration for the later classes, such as a new high yield Photon Torpedo, which were not introduced to mainstream starships for another five years. These new weapons systems alone demonstrate its offensive capabilities. Originally labeled a Destroyer, it was called in to supplement and protect supply convoys to the front line in the Cardassian Wars, so served unofficially as a kind of Heavy Escort vessel. Later, Steamrunners went on to excel with the new upgraded Quantum Torpedoes specifically installed for use in the Dominion war effort, and became a valued addition to any taskforce. One should also take note that at the time of its inception it was one of the fastest ships in the fleet, with a safe sustainable cruise velocity of warp 9.188.
Yes, I know, another set of riddles considering the registry irregularities conflicting with the 'expected' class age. This can be simply (but reluctantly) explained by the apparent registry number of the Appalachia, meaning they must be from the 2340's - 2350's.

KEY
| O= Operational |
| OR= Operational after Refit or Repairs |
| DD= In Drydock for repairs or refit * |
| T= Training Vessel |
| U= Under construction prior to preliminary trials |
| D= Destroyed |
| Sc= Scrapped or Decommissioned |
| PD= Presumed Destroyed |
| M= Missing |
*A ship would visit drydock for many reasons, including refits, repairs, servicing upgrades, preliminary trials and testing of new components, and spacedock for similar reasons, as well as crew rotation, reassignment, prep period before redeployment, and so forth.
The listed specifications for ship classes are partly hypothetical, but some data such as ship lengths, weapon stats and crew complements are in some cases canon. For an explanation on the specs, and what the Ship designations mean, see Spec Definitions.
