The UESS Macaon (FR-370) was a Chryse class transport (subclass to the Durance-class) in the United Earth Starfleet during the mid-22nd century. The ships were a continuance of the cost-cutting measures associated with the Redstone subclass, though this was accomplished through the adoption of a permanent cargo area (vice the use of cargo pods). However, the overall consistent blocky shape resulted in consistent fuel costs, also reducing the range of this subclass. No vessels transferred into Federation Starfleet service and all were retired no later than 2163, often sold to civilian users.
