Adam Buckner kitbashed the USS Antares NCC-9844 from a Miranda Class kit as a background ship for DS9. At least four of these appeared in the DS9 episode "Favor the Bold". Because they are shown from below and in the far background, they are easily mistaken for a standard Miranda Class. The sensor pod on the back is actually the display stand from an AMT/ERTL Excelsior Class kit turned upside down. Also, from the same kit comes the 4 C-shaped nacelle coverings on the back of the upper hull.

The size is the same as the Reliant Type. Note, Eaglemoss lists the Reliant Type (Regular and XXL version)with a length of 233m, whereas all the other variants (Saratoga, Lantree etc.), that should have the exact same length are said to be 243m. The latter makes much more sense, as this makes the shared components about the same size as on the TMP Constitution.
