Technical data[]
The Archer type was considerably smaller than a Constitution-class starship, and could be operated by as few as three crew members. Its structure consisted of a saucer section with a pair of aft impulse engines and a single warp nacelle attached beneath. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "The Broken Circle")
