Exigent class

Exigent-class starships are warships of Cetian design. The Cetian distaste for conflict has led them to create very few of these vessels, and they are comparatively new outside of Tau Ceti. As of 2156, only two Exigent class warships have been seen in service by the Earth Republic, and are considered the flagships of the Astral Directorate naval forces.

The Exigent-class ship Dialectic was part of the ERS Medusa humanitarian fleet that assisted the Ginali at Ixion in 2155-56.
