Technical data[]

The exterior design of this class's hull was hawk-like in appearance, incorporating swept wings positioned at the aft of the vessel, with a beak-like forward section.

The interceptor's armaments included at least one particle cannon mounted on the underside of the hull. The vessel was also equipped with a transporter.

By the 24th century, Orion interceptors had seven particle cannons and two photon torpedo launchers.

Encounters[]

Knowledge of this starship class was contained in the Vulcan database, but the class remained unknown to Starfleet until May of 2154, when two Orion interceptors attacked and raided the Enterprise (NX-01).

The two interceptors quickly caught and ambushed Enterprise in the Borderland as it was searching for an Augment-controlled Bird-of-Prey. Using their transporter, the Orions were able to abduct nine crewmen from Enterprise, including T'Pol and Jeffrey Pierce, before their escape.

Later, two interceptors again engaged Enterprise, following its rescue of the abducted crewmembers from Verex III. They caused moderate damage to Enterprise before the Augments arrived in their commandeered Bird-of-Prey and forced both of the interceptors to retreat.

In 2159, the IKS SuHDah went missing in the Borderland. 227 years later Federation probes found the IKS SuHDah abandoned in the Borderland, over two hundred years old. Starfleet sent the USS Intrepid-A to the Borderland to find out what happened to the crew of the IKS SuHDah. During the mission, Chloe Sullivan downloaded the crew logs, the Intrepid got attacked by nine Orion interceptors, B'Elanna got the weapons back online. Typhuss fired the disruptors at the Orion ship and destroyed it. The relays ruptured and the weapons went offline. Later Typhuss downloaded the visual playback log and sensor log from the Klingon computer. Later the USS Kingston lead 5 Daedalus-class battlecruisers against the Orions, they were able to drive them away. The last one attacked the Bird-of-prey, then the ship evaded the Orion ship until the away team was transported to the USS Kingston after the Bird of-prey lowered its shields. Then the Bird-of-prey was destroyed by the Orion ship. (Star Trek: Kingston episode: "The Discovery")
