The ISS Arcadia was the mirror universe counterpart of the UFS Arcadia and the Empire's first Quantum -class warship, built circa 2380. Agents of Shado, a clandestine organization acting under Stephen April's direction, obtained the designs from the parallel universe of the Federation. April supervised the ship's construction and introduced several design variances.
Though designated Quantum-class, the structural and design similarities to Starfleet's version were limited to overall appearance. Like other Imperial Quantum-class ships, the ISS Arcadia carried most of the features found in their Federation counterparts, as well as thicker armored plating, variant hull geometry and extensive weapons arrays, including a "quantum cannon", a weapon of great destructive power, in place of the main navigational deflector. Internally, the ship featured enhanced security systems and fighter bays, holodecks for military training and combat drills, and large personnel storage areas for troop and prisoner transport. Every deck had an agony booth.
April used the Arcadia as his personal command platform in his role as an executor, until its destruction in late 2385 over Romulus. ("The Best-Laid Plans, Part 5")
