Technical Data
The Barrett-subclass began construction at the United Earth's Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards over Mars, was developed with knowledge and crew from over a two dozen different races and cultures from all over and even a few from outside the Coalition.

The Barrett carried twice the array of weapons than any other ship in her class. Equipped with the Mark II Deflector Shields and under that secondary Mark V Advance Hull Plating, the Barrett could hang in firefights than most cruiser-class vessels.

The Cylons also replaced it's control systems with Bio-Neural Circularity, increasing the ship response time and processing power to the speed of a Human mind.

The Barrett was the first Coalition built with a phased-cloaking device, a marriage of the Romulan Linear Cloaking Device and the Suliban Phase Cloaking Device.

The Barrett was upgraded with a newly co-develop design warp engine design by Captain Charles Tucker III that is able to reach speeds of up to warp-7. The ship base reactors gave out twice the power than those used on previous NX-class vessels. The increase power allowed the ship to easily maintain higher warp speeds for longer periods of time with little strain being force to maintain speed.

The Barrett was also designed with a larger sickbay. Due to the heavy losses during the Xindi Conflict, many starships found their standard medical facilities completely overwhelmed with wounded and sick. The increase in the sickbay design meant that in post-combat recovery the class was considered the stand-in when a dedicated medical frigate or hospital ship was missing.

Crew
The Barrett carried a full crew of 180.

100 members compromised the crew compliment and security, with additional space and housing for 80 troops. The Archer carried two squads of 20 Coalition Marines and a platoon of 60 Mk-0008 Centurions.

Armament
The Barrett's primary armament consisted of 10 light phaser banks, four dual heavy phaser banks and six torpedo/probe launchers.

Room for the additional armaments through the extra hard-points on its hull, though at the cost of consuming its energy reserves. As such these add armaments meant the overall speed and ultimate distance the class could travel was reduced by a third.

The Barrett is also equip with a tractor beam.
