The Vidiian warship was a type of warship utilized by the Vidiians during the 2370s. The ship was described as being "loaded with weaponry," including phasers, and could easily outrun and outgun a Federation Type 6 shuttlecraft. (VOY: "Coda")

In 2372, the USS Voyager encountered a Vidiian convoy approximately seventy light years from "New Earth". Tuvok hailed the convoy, with the intentions of getting assistance from Doctor Danara Pel for curing Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay of a virus they had contracted on "New Earth."

When Voyager approached the convoy, they were attacked by three warships. Heavily outgunned, and placed in a position where they had to lower their shields in order to get the antivirus from Dr. Pel, who was aboard one of the warships, Tuvok devised a plan where they dropped shields, transported the medicine, and simultaneously ejected an antimatter container. When the container cleared, Voyager pulled away and the container was detonated with a photon torpedo, which disabled the three warships, and allowed Voyager's escape. (VOY: "Resolutions")

In an alien illusion experienced by Kathryn Janeway in 2373, at a point when Voyager was believed to be a long way from Vidiian space, she and Chakotay were aboard the Type 6 shuttlecraft Sacajawea, when they were intercepted and came under attack by a Vidiian warship that eventually destroyed the shuttle. After each attack, Janeway would experience what she perceived as a temporal loop, placing them back to a point prior to the arrival of the warship. In one version the shuttle was attacked by two warships, which disappeared after the shuttle emitted a tachyon pulse. (VOY: "Coda")

This class was identified as a "warship" in the dialogue of "Coda".
The studio model was designed in March 1996 by Dan Curry; his concept art described this ship as a "Vidian [sic] fighter". The goal of his design was "to create something that looked as if it could have been developed on the far side of the Galaxy, but still used the same kind of technology. So Curry gave it glowing engines that resembled warp nacelles." (Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration, p. 214)
