Starfleet has three main classes of frigate: Apollo class, Phobos class and Okinawa class frigate/corvette. The frigates are the mainstay of Starfleet, patrolling frontiers, guarding neutral zones, protecting commercial freight traffic and preventing piracy and smuggling. Often the frigate can be the first command of a Starfleet officer of rank Lieutenant Commander or Commander.

The Phobos class is a modernised version of the Andorian-designed Loknar class. The frigate has nine decks. The U.S.S. Gunterman, NCC 8506 named for fallen US soldier PFC Hannah L. Gunterman, is one such member of the class. The pioneer U.S.S. Phobos, NCC 2786, is still in service. The design was submitted in 2268, with the keel launched shortly after. By the end of 2269 the spaceframe was almost completed and the warp coil designs are approved. The bridge module and computer systems are delivered in 2270. The primary hull is completed in 2271 and she left spacedock in 2272. In 2273 warp stress markings were added and deep space assessments commenced. U.S.S. Phobos, NX 2786 was finally commissioned in 2274.
