The Pathyeager class was a 25th century Federation starship type, a tier 6-rated zero-mission science vessel class derived from the 24th century Yeager-class light cruiser, the 2410-era Pathfinder-class, and Pakled clumpships of the 2380s, in Starfleet service from the 2410s decade. It was the first Starfleet ship classes designed by a Pakled. (STO website: Shadow's Advance: Command the Pathyeager!)
Service history and disposition
The Pathyeager in 2411.
Inspired by the USS Yeager and clumpships of the 2380s, Starfleet's first Pakled starship designer Nahamcam constructed the USS Pathyeager zero-mission science vessel at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards at Mars. The Pathyeager-class combined the upscaled hull of a Maquis Ju'day-class raider with a Starfleet primary hull. Instead of an Intrepid-class saucer, Nahamcam substituted the relevant section from the Pathfinder-class long-range science vessel.
- Its registry number NCC-60074 was a reversal of the USS Pathfinder's NCC-97600 registry, mirroring how the NCC-65674 of the Yeager recombined the NCC-74656 of USS Voyager.
The Pathyeager skipped the NX ship trials and was commissioned immediately. Admiralty and the Starfleet Corps of Engineers assigned the Pathyeager to cargo-haul duties and determined it would remain the only vessel of its class. (STO website: Shadow's Advance: Command the Pathyeager!)
