Chapter 25 - Federation Attack Fighters (Patreon)

The nightmarish idea that one day I could very well be forced to fly The Flighty Temptress out of the station at full sublight speed, or engage in a very risky in-system micro-warp jump, to combat some ships over Bajor, had prompted me to shell out my own funds to purchase six impulse-only Federation attack fighters from the Federation on behalf of Bajor. Of course, it wasn’t that easy, the Federation had always been reluctant to sell ships and weaponry to non-Federation members, but I had pulled some strings and gotten them to agree to it, though they would only sell defensive weaponry, hence why the attack fighters were impulse only. Without warp capability, in their minds, Bajor would not be able to use these ships to actually reach and attack Cardassian ships, for example, only to defend their own planet and space. Each ship was armed with type 8 phasers and four photon torpedoes, which was a decent armament if they fought in groups.
