Cobra Class Light Patrol CraftThe Cobra Class Light Patrol Craft is more accurately classified as a light fighter, and is often referred to as such. It was deployed during a time when the Federation was showing great reticence in labeling any piece of hardware with a hostile tag, regardless of its actual intended use.
The Cobra is the uprated, warp-capable, and armed version of the Garter Class Flight Trainer in use at Starfleet Academy from 2365 to 2385. Intended to perform system patrols in potentially dangerous territory, the Cobra is designed to respond to any threat inside the envelope of a system's Oort cloud within 1 hour.
Sporting four nose-mounted phaser arrays and one aft array, the Cobra class is capable of engaging threats more capably than a shuttle, but lacks the firepower of a Runabout. Usually employed in flights of 4, the craft rely on their maneuverability and on-board electronic countermeasures to survive enemy fire. They do possess limited shielding, but this is seldom adequate to resist more than momentary energy weapon contact or a near-miss with torpedoes.
The Cobra is capable of nimble atmospheric maneuvering, and can land and take off vertically from a planet's surface if necessary.
By the late 2390's, the Cobra was a somewhat outdated design which had been superseded by more capable craft in most regions, but it remained a valuable tool in combating pirate and criminal activity in places where the presence of Starfleet was not well established.

King Cobra Class Heavy Patrol Craft
The King Cobra Class Heavy Patrol Craft is an evolution of the Cobra Class. In the late 2390's after a Dosi attack on Katra station, the station commander Captain Solluk requested permission from Starfleet to explore potential upgrades to make a more robust patrol platform. Those upgrades culminated in the creation of the King Cobra. This uprated craft sported twin forward/aft torpedo launchers, a tetryon pumped warp core, and uprated deflectors. The design also included a second seat for a tactical specialist who also served as a signals officer, specializing in ECM/ECCM as well as target tracking. This specialist could be pulled form either Operations or Tactical departments, and was often drawn from the enlisted personnel pool.
