The Fleet Hephaestus-class Advanced Escort (T6) is a Tier 6 Escort which may be flown by Starfleet characters, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store. This starship can be used from any level upon completion of the tutorial experience. As you level up, this ship gains additional hull, weapon slots, and console slots.
Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 20,000 and 5 , so long as the player's Fleet has a Tier IV Shipyard and one Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provision. If the player already owns the Hestia Advanced Escort from the Zen Store, the Fleet Ship Module cost is reduced to 1.
Overview[]
The Tier 6 Hestia-class Advanced Escort is a heavily modified version of the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort. It has been refitted to take advantage of the Multi-Vector capabilities of its predecessor. The Hestia Class Advanced Escort is the pinnacle of tactical starship design.
Class variants
| Class | Information |
|---|---|
 |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Prometheus class is one of the most versatile ships ever designed by Starfleet. Intended for combat, the original prototype USS Prometheus employed a multi-vector assault mode; the ship divides into three semi-autonomous sections capable of fighting independently from each other. Each section is also capable of achieving warp speed. According to the Star Trek Online ship description, the multi-vector aspect was removed due to moving parts that were easy to damage. |
 |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Phoenix class resembles earlier Starfleet designs that opt for a more dome-like saucer section and a shorter base. The nacelles are also the shortest but significantly wider. Its very nimble and efficient design may allay initial fears as a warship but it's essentially a wolf in sheep's clothing that's just as capable as other Prometheus variants. This is the default starship class of the Mirror Universe Patrol Escort. |
 |
SKIN UNLOCK: Free Unlike other Starfleet ships designed for exploration with defense as a secondary concern, the Cerberus is primarily a warship. While it resembles the experimental (and slightly larger) USS Prometheus, that doesn't mean it's not an impressive warship. |
 |
SKIN UNLOCK: Fleet Hephaestus Advanced Escort (T5), 20,000 , 4 OR Free with this starship The Hephaestus class is more angular than other Advanced Escort designs, dominated by straight lines and sharp edges. Its saucer has a sharp "nose" and small fins link the hull to the ventral surface. This class was previously available as an extra ship skin in the Zen Store, but as of Season 7 is exclusive to the Fleet Advanced Escorts. Players who purchased the skin prior to the Season 7 update may still use the Hephaestus skin on any Advanced Escorts they own. |

SKIN UNLOCK: Hestia Advanced Escort, 3000  The Tier 6 Hestia-class Advanced Escort is a heavily modified version of the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort. It has been refitted to take advantage of the Multi-Vector capabilities of its predecessor. The Hestia-class Advanced Escort is the pinnacle of tactical starship design. |
