The five Andor Class Pathfinders entered service in 2266, and were intended to demonstrate the viability of a modern photon torpedo armed missile cruiser following concerns about the performance of earlier missile armed ships.

All five ships were built at the Andor shipyards and commissioned into Military Operations Command, and were the subject of intense scrutiny prior to the production order being placed for the linear warp drive equipped Andor class.

The five pathfinders were used as training ships to support the build up of the Andor class following the end of their short active service careers, all five ships were sold on, three joining the Andorian Planetary Guard, and the other two to the AOFW.
