TREKCORE > DEEP SPACE NINE > SHIPS & STATIONS > Bajoran Fighter / Impulse Ship During the Cardassian occupation of their homeworld, the Bajoran people fought back with courage and determination rather than equal firepower. Bajoran Fighter ships may not be the slickest craft in the Galaxy, but they do their job.

Technical Manual
Built in haste during the years of the Cardassian occupation, the ships often use designs that are probably borrowed from other races, and are constructed with whatever materials can be begged, borrowed or stolen. The Bajorans who build these vessels do their best, but their fighters are a long way from meeting minimum Starfleet standards, or even Cardassian ones. But they work, most of the time, and that is all that can be asked of these ships.
After the Cardassian conflict is settled by treaty, most of the Fighters are put into mothballs. Some are still secreted on Bajor's moons, but others have been reactivated for a new purpose.

Bajor
is an ancient world of artisans and architects; a civilization
of builders, not warriors. The fact that their Bajoran
fighters managed to win any battles at all against the
Cardassian occupation forces is more a credit to the skill and
ingenuity of the Bajoran resistance pilots who flew them than
to the expertise of the engineers who built them.
Bajoran Fighters are a prime example of necessity being the
mother of invention. 
As
the name suggests, Bajoran Fighters are combat ships, equipped
with short-range phasers as their primary weapons. Lacking
warp and, often, even normal impulse drives, these fighters
rely on stealth and ambush to be the most effective. Whenever
possible, the fighters seek to lure their targets within
planetary atmospheres where the playing field is almost level.
