Cardassian patrol cruiser
A Cardassian patrol cruiser was a type of patrol ship employed by the Cardassian Union during the 24th century, primarily used for patrolling and policing the Demilitarized Zone. They were much larger than Cardassian shuttles. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
The Hideki-class was identified as both a "shuttle" and a "patrol ship", indicating that they were a smaller patrol variant.
