The Adamant class was a 25th century Tellarite spacecraft type, an fighter small craft in Federation and Khitomer Alliance service in the 2410s decade. The Adamant class was the default embarked craft held in the pair of hangar bays of a Pralim-class flight-deck carrier. (STO website: Escalation: The Allied Flight Deck Cruiser Bundle!)
Technical specifications[]
A Pralim-class starship and its fighters.
Fighters of the class were produced alongside their Pralim-class mothership but also offered separately by ship requisition officers at Earth Spacedock, Starbase 39-Sierra, Deep Space Station K-7, and Deep Space 9 for 4,150 energy credits.
By default, these fighters were equipped with a phaser beam array and a quantum torpedo launcher. Both weapon emplacements were forward-facing. The ship's special ability was reflective hull I. Advanced fighters were equipped with an additional aft-facing phaser beam array, and reflective hull II. The elite counterpart improved on that with reflective hull III. By default, this hull ability granted 20% resistance to energy damage, and reflected 20% of incoming energy weapon damage. It would last until the equivalent of 5,000 energy damage had been suffered.
When launched from a Federation carrier, three level-61 Adamant fighters could be launched simultaneously, for a total of six fighters per hangar. It took forty seconds to launch a wing of fighters. Adamant fighters had a range of 15,000 kilometers from their mothership. (STO - Escalation mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Visually, the Adamant fighter resembled their Pralim mothership but appeared miniaturized. Their hull color was green. (STO website: Escalation: The Allied Flight Deck Cruiser Bundle!)
Service history[]
An Adamant fighter above its mothership.
In the year 2410, three Khitomer Alliance states cooperated in developing and sharing tier 6 flight-deck carriers, initially called flight-deck cruisers. The three classes were upgraded from 22nd century hulls. The Tellarites provided the Pralim-class carrier to Starfleet. Conversely, the Suliban contributed Veil-class fighters to the Romulan Republic, and the Orions equipped their Blackguard-class carrier with Cutpurse-class fighters.

In 2411, both Federation Starfleet and Imperial Starfleet of the mirror universe's Terran Empire launched a new ship type named Adamant-class, a 25th century iteration of the Defiant-class escort. (STO website: Shadow's Advance: The 12th Anniversary Terran Bundle!)
