WhenTheGunsFallSilent/StarfleetClass

Current Classes

Over the years, Starfleet has fielded many classses. Here are a listing of those that have come up here.

Akira

First produced in 2330 with the failure of the Ambassador class, the ship was originally designed to perform as a gunboat cruiser.

This class has been refit many times, especially as the Cardassian Liberation War began to warm up, and during the war. With the end of the war in 2352, it is likely that the rapid refits and improvements of this class will slow down to a pre-war tempo.

• Service Record: 2330-current

Subclasses

      • Subclass: Saladin [2351-2353]
        • Subclass: Artania [2353-current]
      • Subclass: Efendi [2351-current]

Notable Ships

• USS Akira, NX-52097
• USS Saladin, NCC-52451
• USS Artania, NCC-52749

Ambassador

Only three ships of this design were created. The three prototypes (NX-10521, NX-10529, NX-10530) were all destroyed due to failures during testing, and at that point, the Akira Design Project gained ascendancy due to internal factors in Starfleet

Notable Ships

• USS Ambassador, NX-10521 - Destroyed by warp drive torsional failure
• USS Embassy, NX-10529 - Destroyed by SIF implosion
• USS Reliance, NX-10530 - Destroyed by torpedo misfire.

Miranda Class

Designed as a cruiser in 2260s, this ship class has received many variants and upgrades, and is considered the workhorse of the fleet, and while no longer able to stand as a primary ship, as of 2350, is being considered for use in operations where Starfleet needs wings of ships to escort larger ones. In addition, they are retrofitting them for atmospheric operations.

Subclasses

• Subclass: Ustio (2345-2347)
  • Subclass: Belka (2347-current)
    • Subclass: Shimarin (2352-current)

Excelsior Class

First built in the 2280s, refits have kept this venerable class alive through the 2340s, although the Ambassador class was originally meant to be a replacement. The Cardassian Liberation War proved that even with the latest refits, and new class designs, the basic spaceframe was aging beyond usability. This was the cause for the start of the Nebula Design Project, in 2350.

Subclasses

• Subclass: Caliburn (2340-2346)
  • Subclass: Rhongomyniad (2346-2350)
    • Subclass: Marvel (2350-current)
