The Petersburg-class transport was a type of Federation transport which entered service in 2351. Designed to transport Starfleet Ground Forces, these ships usually traveled in groups of several vessels and were escorted by a more combat-capable class. (RPG netbook: Eternal Vigilance: The United Federation of Planets Sourcebook, Vol. II)

Trivia[]

The design of the Petersburg class began life as an early Jim Martin concept for the USS Defiant, which envisioned the design as a halfway point between a fully fleged starship and a Runabout.
