NOTES:
The Alamo class defense outpost was first placed on location on Stardate 4513. Since that time, 287 of these units have been positioned, usually in orbits around whatever planets are vital, serving as a defensive ring or wall. Alamo class outposts, capable of withstanding a tremendous amount of punishment while delivering powerful offensive blows, are the best deterrent to Klingon aggression. Alamo class defense outposts are built on location. They can be moved by several specially-designed Samson class tugs.
