Akira-Class
Battlecruiser The next generation
Akira-class battlecruisers were intended to complement the new Galaxy and
Nebula class starships, just as the Steamrunner-class destroyers and
Saber-class scout/escorts had been designed to free the Exclesior and
Abassador classes from light combat duty. While the purely combat
orientation of the Akira-class deviated from Starfleets exploratory
charter, the emerging need for a highly maneuverable, well-armed and
survivable battleship became clear with the onset of the Cardassian war.
Several Akira-class vessels fought as part of a combined Alpha Quadrant fleet
that invaded Cardassian space in 2374. Three Akira-class ships were later
destroyed by Cardassian orbital weapons platforms deployed in the
Chin'toka System. SPECIFICATIONS: Displacement: 3,055,000

Ambassador-Class Starship The Ambassador-class heavy
cruiser, commissioned in 2325, was designed as a replacement for the aging
Excelsior-class. A larger Explorer-type vessel capable of longer-duration
missions, it generally served at the edge of Federation space, at the
forefront of first-contact missions. The class is gradually being replaced
by the even larger and more advanced Nebula and Galaxy-class starships.
The fourth Ambassador-class starship created was the U.S.S. Enterprise
(NCC-1701-C). SPECIFICATIONS: Displacement:

Galaxy-Class
Starship Designed to replace the
Ambassador class heavy cruiser as the Federation's primary exploration
vessel, the Galaxy-class is among the most advanced and most power full
vessels in Starfleet. Because of high manufacturing costs associated with
their sheer size and the technological advances incorporated in their
design, less than 15 Galaxy-class starships were ever constructed. The
U.S.S. Galaxy (NCC-70637), for which the class was named, was commissioned
in 2357, and the venerable U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), launched in
2363, was the third of its class. SPECIFICATIONS: Displacement:

StarboardNebula-Class
Starship
Slightly smaller than a Galaxy-class vessel, the
Nebula-class "Light Cruiser" was designed as a lower cost alternative to
the Galaxy-class. While it shares many advanced components, systems, and
design features in common with the Galaxy-class, its integrated hull
structure and more modest scale make it more cost effective for universal
production and deployment. A true multi-role starship, the Nebula-class
features a large dorsal equipment module that may be alternately
configured for combat ro research missions by housing sophisticated sensor
packages or advanced weapons platforms.

StarboardSovereign-Class
Starship
As of 2373, this next generation heavy cruiser is
the most advanced starship in Starfleet. Sovereign-class starships are
nearly 700 meters in length abd feature 24 decks. The U.S.S. Sovereign
(NX-73811) was the prototype for the class. The U.S.S. Enterprise
(NCC-1701-E) was the second Sovereign-class vessel, launched in 2372 under
the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
