The Ares-class is a fan design that stretches back all the way to the Star Trek: Bridge Commander video game. It’s meant to be a less-complicated offspring of the Prometheus-class without MVAM while still retaining the tactical capabilities. The first Ares-class rolled out of the shipyards in 2377, with the mainline run emerging in 2380. For Star Trek Adventures purposes, I’ve added a new Phaser-based Talent for the ship: Advanced Phaser Supply.
