By the mid-2270s several interested scientific and expansion firms in the Star Navy saw the use of the Tal class battlecruiser. They decided to create a variant research cruiser to further exploration and expansion efforts. To keep interest they scaled down the ship's costs, gone were the troop support and transporters. In their place were vastly expanded scientific laboratories and larger crew support and comforts for longer range missions. Several of the offensive and defensive systems also saw a reduction in this new role with expanded sensors, and comm arrays installed. Overall the Type-1S as it came to be called was a moderate success with 5 such ships constructed by 2275. A contract for 2 additional ships per year was also placed much to the designers delights!

The Type-2S research cruiser variant of the Tal class, came into production and use by 2299, in total another 5 ships were constructed of this type, with all remaining Type-1S's refitted by 2301, bringing the total in use to 42 such ships. Another contract was awarded for a production rate of 2/year until focused efforts by 2305 canceled further construction to refit and build up the Star Navy's fleet for the proposed invasion of Gorn space in years to come. In total 50 Type-2S's were built/refit.

The final refit and construction version of the research cruiser variant of the Tal class, the Type-3S saw another 5 new hulls built and all remaining Type-2S refit by 2320. Beyond the initial new 5 ships no further orders were placed this time. The refit closely matched the standard Type-3 battlecruiser in all equipment except in the placement of some weapons and upgraded the shield array to the RSR. Reinforcements all around gave this final version some teeth felt lacking in earlier S variants but the purpose was still on exploration and expansion rather then outright combat. By the 2370s though their aging hulls had seen many scrapped, and the last 11 Type-3S were thrown into the Dominion War with no changes. Sadly none survived the combat to come.
