Federation Starship Designs

HIROSHIMA-class

With the passing of time, technologies began to advance with Starfleet engineers struggling to keep up. The MAJESTY was built to replace the now aging ZEUS-class, with weapons and systems advanced as far as current knowledge will allow. These ships were not built for anything other than war and to offer a commanding presence where needed.

ARIZONA-class

The ARIZONA-class starship better intergrates some of the newest technologies, increasing the effectiveness of this starship with slightly faster firing controls, manuevering, and sensors over previous models. She design offers three variants of the overall design incuding a straight battlecruiser (BC) design, command battlecruiser (CBC) design, and battlecruiser / carrier (BCV) hybrid design. The BC offers the most in raw firepower while the CBC sacrifices some of its firepower for command coordination capabilities. The BCV also shows a sacrifice of firepower to better support extended carrier capabilities.

EXCALIBUR-class

This class of starship was built as a multimission replacement to the aging SOLAR-class starship. Measuring at over a 1,000m in length, she has large multimission bays to be used for a variety of purposes. State of the art equipment makes her a perfect mobile command platform as well as battelecruiser for combat situations. Although several times larger than the original design, this class utilizes the hull design of the PROMETHIUS-class spaceframe.

Hannibal-class

As one of the largest ships in the fleet, this class of starship functions as much more than a simple transport for fighters, this ship also carriers heavy weapons in addition to some command coordination equipment. Although not to the scale of the EXCALIBUR-class command cruiser, it is a variation of her hull.

DISCOVERY-class

The DISCOVERY-class is one of the latest designs to be introduced by Starfleet Engineering, bringing together the latest in technologies. Although slightly smaller than most other heavy cruiser classes, this ship places more strength in everything she does (realistically speaking of course). Although the first two were created from unfinished hulls, most of the rest can be from actual *complete* rebuilds of older AMBASSIDOR-class vessels formerly retired from servce. These ships have been rebuilt from the ground up.

HEINLEIN IV-class

The Heinlein Class was designed as a stable follow up to long tradition of Starships capable of operation for over 20 years service before replacment. Additionally this vessel was designed for deep space patrol armed with the teeth of a tiger and the speed of an Hawk. This vessel is more then capable of taking on any vessel, especially with the Adaptive shield system wich makes this vessel a formidable foe.

SOVEREIGN II-class

This starship offers itself as a replacement to the now aging original SOVEREIGN-class spaceframe. It continues the rich legacy of the class of hull design as a multimission cruiser.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

GALAXY IV-class

[No Longer in Production] -- When some design engineers attempted to have the GALAXY-class spaceframe mothballed, others banded together to redesign the ship to prove the worth of this aging spaceframe. Even though an older design, the GALAXY-class through the Mark IV modifications continues to present itself as a lasting multi-mission spaceframe within the fleet.

CONCORDE II-class

Simply speaking, the CONCORDE-class Assault Carrier now brings together several elements to better transport and deploy assets for engagements where assault forces will be needed in either long term or short term operations - from fighters to Marine troopers.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

CONCORDE-class

[No Longer in Production] -- This class starship offers itself as a mobile, quick way to get fighters to the frontlines quickly as well as to serve as a fighter base of operations for patrols and small theatres of operation.

ICARUS-class

In recent years, Starfleet Engineering has put forth several new ship designs as part of a modernization effort by Starfleet Command. The ICARUS, one of the new designs, looks like a mix between a SOVEREIGN and ARIZONA class hulls, only smaller. With powerful offensive capabilities and a formidable defensive arsenal, the ICARUS is a perfect balance of speed, power, and agility.

CARDERA-class

One glance is enough to tell anyone that the CARDERA-class light cruiser was inspired by the original EXCELSIOR-class. Armed with modern technology, this ship honors her origins as not only an explorer, but a excellent all-around cruiser.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

DAWNSTAR-class

Following a design the mixes the former AMBASSIDOR-class design with the GALAXY-class spaceframe. This ship offiers itself as a multimission platform and is thought to be one of the next main stay designs within this class range.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

AKIRA II-class

Using the traditional hull pattern of the older AKIRA-class ships, the KATANA is near twice the size of its fore-bearer and offers itself very well as a multimission platform.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

NEBULA IV-class

[No Longer in Production] -- As old as the GALAXY-line, the NEBULA design continues to offer itself as a strong multi-purpose ship design that has out lasted the last few decades of use. With mark IV upgrades, this design keeps these ships servicable and fully functional within the overall fleet. One of the benefits of this design is the interchangable mission pod located atop the ship which allows for the alteration of her design with ease, adapting her to the needs of what mission profile may arise.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

EXCELSIOR-B-class

[No Longer in Production] -- Quite unexpectedly, the staff at Starfleet Engineering developed a new design that would call for the refit of the old EXCELSIOR-class starship hulls which had been retired from service years before. The planned upgrades reinforced the ships hull while outfitting the starships with modern technology. Although not quite the equal of other ships of this size and weight, it has helped to fill a gap in the ship inventory.

AMAZONAS-class

Continuing the trend that the future lay not in larger ship designs but instead in smaller, the concept of the AMAZONAS-class light cruiser was drafted. With several hulls already under construction, the prototype is almost ready for testing. This class will one day replace the NEBULA-class line, offering itself as a platform of several different mission-varied hulls to include Command Light Cruiser, Warship, Carrier, Medical and Multi-mission.

The first ship of the line was renamed A.N.S. ALLIANCE in 2417 and will serve as the flag ship of the Alliance navy when launched.

MIDWAY-class

This class starship offers itself as one of the fastest ways to get fighters from one place to another with full coordination for those fighters. It is perfect for smaller engagements as well as to serve as a fighter base of operations for patrols and small theatres of operation.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

ARES-class

In the footsteps of the DISCOVERY-class heavy crusier, the ARES-class takes the technologies of the much larger design and places that power into the frame of slim destroyer. Using less crew and over all resources, the ARES-class was developed as a means of introducing a way to use smaller space-frames to get the job done. There are three variants of this ship's hull design ... command variant, general variant, and explorer variant.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

CAVALLA-class

This class of starship takes a hull design similar to the former NEW ORLEANS-class design and packs it with the latest in technology - technology which allows for more advanced equipment and less hands to operate that equipment. After the introduction of the ARES-class, this class was adapted for long-range exploration.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

CHURCHILL-class

The Churchill class is an unusual design, it reflects the older Miranda, Constitution and Excelsior class vessels of the 23 century. It is considered more to be an explorer and is designed to operate a 5/7 year deep space mission. With a major refit scheduled for every 7/8 years.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

PROMETHIUS II-class

This class starship offers the latest in technology and combines that technology with the multi-vector assault mode of the original PROMETHEUS design. This ship requires a smaller crew compliment than normal destroyers her size while offering the best in firepower.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

INTREPID II-class

Since its release, the Intrepid has proven its worth as an effective combat, support, exploratory, and scientific vessel. Over time, all Intrepid class ships have gone through a standard technology upgrade but there wasn't been an overall design refit. That was until 2414 when instead of starting all over again in designing a new Destroyer class ship, the engineering group at Utopia Planitia decided to refit the old Intrepid design.

OMEGA-class

The OMEGA CLASS is an all-purpose military special ops vessel. It is able to seperate into seperate vessels, each one able to perform a specific mission or act as the command base of operations. The 'Head-Ship' is able to seperate, which it does often, as it can act as either a support craft, fighter, bomber, transport, or any other number of missions.

The Bridge section can also seperate, either as a last resort escape vessel, or as a small agile command base. All systems on either the main hull or Head Ship can be controlled from the seperated Bridge Module, giving the OMEGA CLASS unprecedented strategic opportunities. The Main Hull of the ship can house large numbers of troops, as well as an assortment of planetary assault vessels like Photon Tanks and other artillery. These troops and vehicles are deployed either from the front or rear of the ship, or a large ovaloid section is dropped from the bottom middle of the ship which also gives access to the planetary surface. As you can imagine, the ship is armed with state of the art weaponry and defensive systems, and it has a high warp speed which can be maintained for longer than standard durations.

With the Cavalla and several other destroyer classes beginning to show their age, the Starfleet Corps of Engineers has begun construction of the BLUE RIDGE-class. A multi-mission destroyer, interchangeable mission pods allow for easer change of mission profile for this class allowing ships of this line to feel the needs of a command destroyer, combat / patrol vessel, explorer, and general duty ship.

The first ships of this class are currently under construction at the Ansolon Shipyard.

DELPHIN-class

Development of the DELPHIN-class saw actual birth through the Alliance's Military Corps of Engineers, but has been continued by Starfleet after the Cassini Alliance remerged with Federation. Better than existing classes already in use, this class design is being engineered to better handle the more rigorous portions of the Cassini Nebula and other more turbulent regions of space.

BARTON-class

Medical ships have a long history in Starfleet. The BARTON is the latest medical ship to come out of the shipyards. With accommodations for up to 1,200 patients and facilities to rival most Starbases, the BARTON can handle a variety of medical missions, from life pod rescue to assisting in planetary relief operations. Each deck of the BARTON is equipped with Holo-emitters which allows for the use of the medical holograms on each deck. The BARTON’s computer core allows the ship to run multiple holographic doctors and assistants on each deck of the ship in the event of a medical emergency.

SENTINEL-class

When the WOLFE-class (Miranda spaceframe) was retired, this class ship was designed as it's replacement. Armed with the latest in technology, it sets out to prove that small ships and small crews can match some of its larger cousins in the field.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

PATHFINDER-class

This ship is most likely the smallest of the frigates in size but is not to be overlooked in ability. Originally designed as a surveyor of planets, it is fast becoming a backbone in scientific research.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

KHITOMER-class

This class starship proves starfleets satisfaction the original concepts behind the Akira-class designs. Using a similar hull pattern, Starfleet has created a new style multi-mission destroyer.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

QUASAR-class

With the last of the MIRANDA-class spaceframes retired from service, Starfleet needed a new frigate design that could serve as a scientific/explorer platform of which the QUASAR-class is perfectly suited. This starship offers itself as a small ship capable of extended long-range operations with missions geared specifically to scientific study, while still maintaining enough strength in arms to adaquately defend itself.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

LOKNAR V-class

Although an older design, the LOKNAR-class uses technologies of some of the more modern classes to create a strong platform when it comes to extended patrol duties whether on the edge of the frontier or along neutral zones.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

THUNDER-class

This class vessel has been offered as a fast response, heavily armed alternative to the aging MIRAGE-class Corvette. As with it's sister design, it is often without comforts or amenties found in most larger starship classes.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

WALLACE-class

Smaller than the THUNDER-class, this version of an interceptor offers slightly more speed with the use of a smaller crew compliment as well as with a greater chance of eluding sensor detection. This class is a favorite among the Starfleet Intelligence communities.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

MARAUDER-class

Of Defiant lineage, the MARAUDER-class corvette is only two-third the size of the of its MIRAGE-class cousin. This class vessel serves the role of escort, patrol, reconnaissance, and courier quite easily while being a favorite design when looking for a ship to be assigned to a starbase or larger framed starship for escort duty.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

MIRAGE-class

This class vessel is offered as a replacement to the aging THUNDERBOLT-class corvette. It offers itself as the perfect spaceframe for an escort. patrol, and recon vessel. Without the comforts or amenities of most other starships, the THUNDERBOLT was perfectly suited for fast strike missions from a nearby base.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

AVENGER-class

[No Longer in Production] -- Another starship designed with the former THUNDERBOLT/DEFIANT class in mind, this ship serves multimission roles as several modules within her layout are designed to be interchangable, offering her the ability to become more mission dedicated. She is also a favorite transport for the Marine Corps.

specifications | deck listing | class visuals | ship registry

SHANIA-class

This class starship offers itself as a patrol and fast response vessel. In addition to serving along patrol routes, this vessel is often found with crews operating in policing type roles. (This is a favorite design for use by the Federation Marshal Service.)
