Spacecraft used by ancient Bajorans, propelled by light pressure from Bajor's sun. Solair-sail vessels, also known as light-ships, had no impulse reaction or warp propulsion system, but rather had enormous reflective sails that caught the tenuous solar wind. Crew accommodations were minimal in order to conserve mass. Such ships were used eight centuries ago to explore the Bajor system. Some ancient solar sailers even reached Cardassia. Until recently, Cardassian scholars scoffed at the suggestion that Bajorans crossed instellar space so long ago, but such transit was demonstrated in 2371 by Benjamin Sisko, who built a solar sailer from ancient plans. Sisko's craft was caught by tachyon eddies in the Denorios Belt, sweeping it at faster-than-light speeds to Cardassia. Shortly after Sisko's arrival, Cardassian archaeologists reported they had found ancient wreckage of such a ship on Cardassia.
DS9 "Explorers"
Bajoran poet Akorem Laan piloted a traditinoal solar sailer in 2172. That particular craft was a hundred years old at the time of his flight.
DS9 "Accession"
The solar sailer was designed by Jim Martin, under the supervision of production designer Herman Zimmerman. The ship-in-flight scenes were computer-generated images created by John Knoll, under the direction of visual effects supervisor Glen Neufeld.
