Derf class (FASA)
| Deck 1 | Bridge |
| Deck 2 | Weapons, Crew Quarters, Lounges |
| Deck 3 | Crew Quarters, Rec Areas |
| Deck 4 | Recycling, Fabrication, Ship's Computers, Hydroponics |
| Decks 5-6 | Storage (Fore), Engineering (Aft 1/3) |
| Deck 7 | Parts Storage |
| Deck 8 | Open Storage |
The Derf class tender became operational on Reference Stardate 1/9807 (July 2256)[1] with the commissioning of the U.S.S. Derf NCC-20100.[2] More than 500 were constructed, and although the class did not see combat during the Klingon War, which began two months earlier, the class was responsible for repairing and maintaining navigational beacons along the new border between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire after the war ended.[1] The class was also used for survey work as a medium exploration ship. The circular top hull was four decks high; the lower hull was also four decks. Decks 5-7 were 3.2 meters high, while Deck 8 was 9 meters. Derf class vessels were named after historical places in the Federation, and initially bore hull registries in the 20100-20179 range.[2]
When performing maintenance on navigational buoys, early warning sensors, beacons, and communication relay stations, special shuttles with tractor beams recovered the buoys, then entered forward, where the retrieved equipment underwent an "assembly line" maintenance routine. When repaired, the shuttle then took the device out the aft door and replaced it on the navigation route.[2] The class featured minimal defenses, fielding two banks of two FH-4 phasers and an FSH deflector shield. Derf class vessels carried two 6-person and one cargo transporter, two passenger shuttlecraft, and five work pod shuttles.[3]

The Derf class tender became operational on Reference Stardate 1/9807 (July 2198)[1] with the commissioning of the U.S.S. Derf NCC-20100.[2] More than 500 were constructed, and although the class did not see combat during the Four Years War, which ended a month earlier, the class was responsible for repairing and maintaining navigational beacons along the new border between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.[1] The class was also used for survey work as a medium exploration ship.
