This is the Benthan Patrol Ship from VOY: "Vis à Vis". In the episode two of these ships try to retrieve the stolen coaxial warp drive prototype from the identity stealing alien Steth.

There can be found renderings of the original CG model on the web. This kind of pictures are usually depicting the ship "flying" to the right side and on this, the ship is shown with the blue hemisphere pointing to that direction. When further looking a t the ship, common sense also tells you that the end with the blue sphere is the front and the other side is the aft, with some sorts of engine exhausts located there. But when you watch the episode the ships are flying the other way around, with the blue sphere pointing to the aft. Maybe the other direction was originally envisioned by the designer, but is clearly overruled by the visuals in the episode. It seems Star Trek Online didn't do its homework here since the ship is also flying backwards there!?!

There is currently no official size for this ship around, so i compared their sizes on screen with the coaxial warp drive prototype, which itself could be estimated against Voyager in an earlier scene. The small Prototype must be at least 20-25m to fit in the bridge/engineering set we have seen inside the ship. This is roughly fitting to the external shot besides Voyager. The Benthan Patrol ship then must be something between 150-180m. I found a fan made fleet chart online which states a length of 162m. Although i do not agree with some other lengths stated there, this figure is well between this and as good as any other guess. So i'm using this length until i get some more official information.
