This page is primarily for the fun of cataloging the various unknown
Fasa drawings of ships that where used in the 'backview' of many of
the illustrations over the years of Fasa's Trek publications.
Someone maybe interested in fleshing out the drawings and stating up
the ships.
Considering where most of the images came from (usually above a
planetoid and/or near military starbases), They where not intended
to represent playable ships, rather they are there to show activity
in the drawings.
It's been suggested that most of those ships are probably commercial
designs for the private sector, work yards, transport etc... some of
the ships maybe used by the governing planet/military for
sub-contract use, such as the "LiL Tyke" Tug pictured below.

"David Tepool and Jordan Weisman sketched out some of the roughs on
the ships originally. Others were done by FASA artists and adapted by
David when he did the Ship Construction Manual. It's possible one of
those slipped into the cover that was never actually intended for
use. It isn't likely to be Gorn, as we were never working on those. It
may have been a Federation colony ship design -- but most of the
Federation ships used outboard nacelles. The design looks vaguely
Klingon to me, somehow..."-Guy McLimore

Mosby Class?
Source: Cover of 2014 Intelligence Manual - Game Operations
P9 of the second book indicates possibly a "Mosby Class"
Type of Federation starship, operated under the authority of Starfleet
Intelligence in the first fifty years after the founding of Starfleet. The
Mosby class was a scout ship designed for high speed and reconnaissance
operations. The vessels of this type broke all Starfleet speed records for
the time period, achieving warp factor 3.84 in secretly performed trials.

U.S.S. Claymore,Federation starship, operated under the authority of
Starfleet Intelligence. This ship is a four-deck scout, but has a large
sensor plate for long range emissions testing and information interception.
