History
While the Interstellar Service (ISS) and Internal Security Directorate (ISD) both utilized modified Rider-class Couriers for their operations, they found that the requirements of many of their operations meant that the Rider-class was insufficient for their needs, and turned to the Military Arms Research Service (MARS) to design a new class for their needs. The first Cypher-class vessels were commissioned in 2185 CE, almost twenty years after the introduction of the first Rider-class vessels.
