Class 4 industrial replicator

A class 4 industrial replicator (abbreviated as CFI replicator) was a type of Federation industrial replicator used for industrial purposes.

Following the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor in 2369, the Federation gave the Bajoran Provisional Government two CFI replicators to help them rebuild the planet following the Occupation.

After the Klingons destroyed the industrial base of several dozen Cardassian planets in 2372, the Detapa Council secretly contacted the Federation Council and made an urgent request for industrial replicators. The Federation Council approved the request, and gave the Cardassians twelve Class 4 replicators so that the Cardassians could at least start building new power plants and factories.

Unfortunately, all twelve CFI replicators, which were transported to Deep Space 9 via a Vulcan freighter were hijacked by the Maquis, under the direction of former Starfleet Security officer Michael Eddington.
