In design the ship is relatively conventional, with an aerodynamic shape and wings which allow it to operate within a planetary atmosphere and carry out landings in order to deploy troops in environments hostile to transporter technology. The six phaser weapons provide all around coverage, and each is under the control of a gunner rather than being linked into a central firecontrol system.
This design was one of the first built by the Bajorans after the end of the Cardassian occupation, and its many shortcomings are understandable when seen in this light. Although Bajor has since acquired some more advanced alien vessel designs they also plan to upgrade these ships as part of the policy of building an self-contained defence capability. Few details are forthcoming on the proposed upgrades, but fitting some form of impulse engine or perhaps even a low speed warp drive is likely, along with weapons upgrades.

The commissioning date for the ships is intended to illustrate that they were produced shortly after the Cardassian withdrawal from the system.
