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 their "bugship" nickname. It consists of a compact primary hull with two small nacelles; it's underside has a distinctive purple glow. The size of this vessel is unclear, with official sources giving a lenght of under 100 meters while visual evidence suggests sizes up to 150 meters.
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 accomodations.
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.
Attack Ships are capable of surviving an uncontrolled re-entry and crash landing with extensive, though repairable, damage.
Their transporter and sensor technology is significantly more advanced than that of the Federation, easily bypassing shields and detecting cloaked vessels.
