The Zalkonian warship was a type of advanced military vessel utilized by the Zalkonians during the mid-24th century These vessels had formidable armaments, with weaponry comparable to that of a Galaxy-class starship. As well, these vessels were nearly as fast and maneuverable. Aside from standard directed energy weapons, they were armed with a form of weapon that caused the crews of enemy ships to suffer from asphyxiation. Federation shields were ineffective against this form of attack. For more information on this design and history of this model, please see: Studio models.
