The USS Cyrus (NCC-514) was a Syracuse-class destroyer—of the Saladin destroyer subclass—in Star Fleet service during the 23rd century.
In 2250, the remaining Siva and Saladin vessels, as well as eight Monoceros from the Hermes-class scouts, received upgrades of the external hull, warp nacelle, pylon, and weaponry. The new PB-32 nacelle provided cruise and maximum speeds of warp 6 and warp 8, while the weaponry was completely replaced: the torpedo systems were modified to support forced-intermix warhead supply equipment and the six phase cannons were replaced by an equal number of less massive—but far more adaptive—Type VII phaser emitters. The bridge was provided a lower target profile by being “sunk” half a deck into the surrounding superstructure. And, for utilitarian purposes, a powerful tractor beam emitter was mounted on the pylon’s trailing edge, midway between the saucer and the nacelle.
