Loknar class

The ***Loknar*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the mid 23rd century as part of Operation New Frontiers. It was classified as a scale 4 fast frigate.

## History

After the success of the *Constitution II* and *Miranda*-class refits as part of the Theseus Modernization Project, Starfleet Command broadened the scope of the project to include other Operation New Frontiers designs in need of overhauls. Forever proud of their *Loknar* frigates, shipwrights at the Advanced Starship Design Bureau office in the Laikan Starfleet Shipyards jumped at the chance to update the design. The new plans were completed by the end of 2272 and construction began early the next year. In September, the first three vessels of the *Loknar* Mark V, named the *Jezar*-class after the first commissioned hull, were launched and a few weeks later several older model *Loknars* entered slips at Laikan for refit to the new design.
