The Chariot class transport was first proposed during the darkest days of
the Four Years War. Starfleet proposed a small, cheap transport designed to
pour its heart out in speed to carry moderate cargo loads to the embattled
front. The vessel would have a small crew, a far cry from the large crew
requirements of the Ptolemy and Keppler classes. Essentially two warp
engines attached to a command pod, the transport would be massed produced to
flood the beleaguered Federation forces with supplies.
