TACFLEET Notes:

Originally designed to be a significant improvement on the earlier GALOR-Class Heavy Cruiser, the KELDON Class proved to be somewhat of a disappointment. Despite the successful introduction of additional automation to reduce crew levels, the complexity of the design meant a long time to build it. The need to minimize power output so as not to compromise other systems meant that the ship had only a marginal edge in firepower over the Galor Class. Since the Cardassian Union was prevented from designing and building new ship classes after the end of the Dominion War, the Cardassian military began a slow, arduous program of upgrading ALL their remaining GALOR and KELDON class ships. While it lacks the higher technological capabilities of Federation, Romulan and, in some areas, Klingon ships, it is tough, with powerful weapons and shields, heavy armor and reasonable engines which has proved sufficient to aid Federation, Klingon, and Romulan vessels patroling the Cardassian border.
