A lovely weapon when teamed with flying armour. Make a hole in a wall/roof and then send a sweeper team in.

My guess is that it would be either the Prometheus class without that fwerid multi-vector assault mode, the Defiant-class, or the Nova-class (aka USS Equinox).

The Steamrunner, Norway and Saber classes to me don't seem to fit the IPOs design brief or the general UF warp propelled starship design scheme.
