These ships emphasised the use of pure brute strength which was used against resistant defenders. Lacking any form of subtlety, these ships lacked good maneuverability as well speed which was the only advantage enemies would have against these ships. Any enemy ships that approached this cruiser would be attacked by array after array of weaponry that would destroy most intruders which showcased how deadly the Telok was in battle. A type II model would later be produced which improved the ships already deadly weapon system with newer technologies. (TNG game: Birth of the Federation)
