The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship (also know colloquially as bugship or Jem'Hadar Fighter) is the most common type of Dominion warship. It serves a variety of roles, from reconnaissance to fleet support and personnel transport.
Physical description
The Attack Ship vaguely resembles a beetle, giving rise to the "bugship" nickname. It consists of a compact primary hull with two small nacelles; its underside has a distinctive purple glow. The size of this vessel is unclear, with official sources giving a length of 68[1] meters while visual evidence suggests sizes over 100 meters.[2]
Features and abilities
Attack Ships have a spartan interior. They have no viewscreen, no chairs on the bridge, no dedicated medical facilities and minimal crew accommodations.[3]
Their main weapon is a polaron beam (sometimes referred to as a phaser), complemented by a form of torpedo. They posses shielding, though this has proven to offer minimal protection even against the disruptors of the comparatively weak Bird of Prey.[4]
Attack Ships are capable of surviving an uncontrolled re-entry and crash landing with extensive, though repairable, damage.[5]
Their transporter and sensor technology is significantly more advanced than that of the Federation, easily bypassing shields and detecting cloaked vessels.
