The Condor-class or Ju'day-class, also known as Maquis raider was a type of Federation raider that was commonly utilized by the Maquis as a raider craft in their fight against the Cardassians.

These ships had a runabout-size bridge which held four stations, with larger crew facilities in the aft sections. Some of these ships operated with impulse engines originally built around 2332.

History[]

These ships were first commissioned in the 2330s decade. In the 2370s, the Maquis were able to acquire a number of Condor-class raiders to aid in their fight against the Cardassian Union in the Demilitarized Zone. (VOY episode: "Repression", CCG set: Energize)

The Condor-class raiders were similar in design to a type of smaller two-man fighters which were also used by the Maquis, but these vessels could accommodate a crew of around twenty. Vessels of this class were armed with phaser banks and photon torpedo launchers, which were invaluable for the Maquis. (VOY episode: "Caretaker")

In 2371, Chakotay's Maquis cell fled Gul Evek's ship in a similar raider, the Val Jean. The raider was an old craft, still using its 39 year-old rebuilt engine, it was no match for the Galor-class vessel and took refuge in the Badlands. While there, it was scanned by a tetryon beam and catapulted to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker entity. The ship was later destroyed after it rammed and destroyed a Kazon-Ogla vessel in order to protect the USS Voyager. The Maquis were transported aboard Voyager and forced to join the Starfleet crew for the trip home. (VOY episode: "Caretaker")

In 2372, Kasidy Yates's freighter, the Xhosa, rendezvoused with a Maquis raider inside the Badlands. And in 2373, several ships of this type participated in the Maquis offensives against the USS Malinche, the USS Defiant, and Quatal Prime. (DS9 episode: "For the Uniform")
