Star Trek: 10 Most Powerful Ships

2. Jem'Hadar Battleship

While the most common Jem'Hadar ship to run into was the fighter, they also had battleships in play.

A Jem'Hadar battleship was not the most agile ship in space, nor is it the fastest. But that's not the point. The entire point of a ship like this was sitting in one spot and pummeling its opponents with torpedos. These battleships had ten or more torpedo launchers, meaning it could let an endless barrage of the destructive weapons loose.

The first Federation vessel to encounter a Jem'Hadar battleship was the USS Valiant, which was summarily destroyed. The crew of the Valiant, a Defiant class ship, estimated that battleship was three times the size of a Galaxy class vessel like the Enterprise-D and two times more powerful.

Jem'Hadar battleships were not easy to escape from, and even harder to destroy. When combined with the nimble Jem'Hadar fighters, they made devastating one two combination that was enough to take on the enemies of the Dominion.
