The [i]Spirit of Adventure[/i] is the first in her class of 12 [i]Spirit[/i]-class Fast Frigates intended for use with the first 12 Ranger Corps teams. The ships are equipped with the latest model medium-range hyperdrive and extensive automation, including shipboard AI. All other components are proven off-the-shelf equipment used in other models of Confederation Naval vessels. 
[i]Spirit[/i] differs only from her planned sister ships by the use of Railguns as her fixed-forward anti-ship armament; the anti-ship Particle Lances intended to equip her sister ships were not ready in time, and railguns were fitted instead.
Onboard facilities are comparatively spacious and luxurious for the size of the ship, a situation achieved via the increased use of AI for ship management tasks reducing crew complement, giving more space for individual facilities. Small, but relatively comfortable quarters are available for all regular personnel, with auxiliary cargo/storage rooms able to be converted for multiple occupancy dormitory/bunk style crew compartments. 
Crew quarters are arranged in the fashion of individual small rooms with incorporated washing/sanitation facilities that can be configured for the needs of various Confederation species, all facing onto a centralised shared social space. Several of these will be arranged along corridors. The ship has two mess decks where food is served. Larger lounges also provide social spaces and small, but ample recreational facilities for the size of the crew and ship.

Following with current design theories, the ship's bridge is shielded by heavy blastproof plates in combat or hazardous conditions, along with other large external windows or viewing apertures, as well as the paired port and starboard hangars at the lower corners of the midship. 
Both engine nacelles can rotate 180 degrees for braking manoeuvers. 
Unusually, no ventral armament is fitted, though it remains to be seen if this is considered a blind spot.
The [i]Spirit[/i] class ships are not designed or intended for atmospheric operation, and their hulls are rated for non-terrestrial atmosphere operations only.
