The Gorgon (PKA-810) Class was the first Perimeter Action class to
commission in Starfleet, and in many ways was used to prove the concept,
unlike the later Agilis and Kiaga classes the Gorgon was based on more
traditional design concepts. The Gorgon was designed by a joint Terran-Andorian
team, and as such shares some basic concepts (the twin boom design) with the
Loknar class frigate, but the execution on the Gorgon was somewhat
different. After the introduction of the smaller newer Agilis and Kiaga
classes, the Gorgon class was reclassified as a Large Perimeter Action Ship
(PKA).
