The Telcor is a big-step forward as a base level attack ship for the Cardassians. Prior to this ship, their only attack ship was the Hideki which was simply too small and too light to tangle with the Jem Hadar attack ships, or B'rels on equal footing. They could use their own version of the Bug Ship, but they don't have a doctrine of disposable ships. So they needed something a little better than their foes and built the Telcor which is a heavy attack ship at around 200m long, that is roughly 2-3 times more powerful than a Bug. These in packs of the 3-4 would terrorize Bug Ships and BoPs even if outnumbered 2-1. These packs, if accompanied by even a single Bakrus Class Heavy Attack/Heavy Destroyer would be a big tactical problem for foes with average sized attack ships, or even cruisers.
Good fight. The telcor class is impressive for a cardasisan ship. The union must have learned from the klingon invasion. 👍

If you turn away from them, you can moon them instead of face them. 😉
very cool video.
Seems about right.
A request, two Cardassian Keldons v four Dominion bug ships.
