Andromeda Class

U.S.S. ANDROMEDA

NCC-6****

U.S.S. PROKOFIEV

NCC-68814

U.S.S. DRAKE

NCC-70956

Length: 349m, Beam: 167m, Height: 66m;

Crew Complement: 289

First commisioned in 2365, these explorers were the precursors to the Intrepid Class in many ways. They have served with distinction on the Federation's frontiers for the past decade. There was a recent attempt at an Intrepid-style refit. Along with an altered hull color scheme, the prototype featured variable-geometry warp nacelles - each shorter engine containing fewer (but more advanced) warp coils.

Bradbury Class

U.S.S. BRADBURY

NX-72307

U.S.S. NOVA SCOTIA

NCC-77153

Length: 600m, Beam: 210m, Height: 84m; Crew Complement: 450

Deck Count: 20

The prototype of the Bradbury was scheduled to transport Wesley Crusher to Starfleet Academy in 2366. Named for s/f writer Ray Bradbury.

Chimera Class

U.S.S. CHIMERA

U.S.S. PORTLAND

NCC-57418

Length: 308m, Beam: 317m, Height: 57m; Crew Complement: 162

Deck Count: 16

Length: 482m, Beam: ***m, Height: **m; Crew Complement: 276

Deck Count: **

The Starship Portland was dispatched to search for DS9's Constable Odo & Mr. Garak when they were abducted by the combined Tal'Shiar - Obsidian Order fleet in late 2371.

Hokule'a Class

U.S.S. HOKULE'A

NX-*****

U.S.S. TRIPOLI

NCC-19386

Federation Starship Tripoli discovered the android Data at the ravaged Omicron Theta colony in 2338.

Istanbul Class

U.S.S. ISTANBUL

NX-*****

U.S.S. HAVANA

NCC-34043

U.S.S. CONSTANTINOPLE

NCC-34852

U.S.S. SARAJEVO

NCC-38529

U.S.S. BUDAPEST

NCC-38539

Length: 340m, Beam: ***m, Height: **m; Crew Complement: ***

Deck Count: 16

The Istanbul Class is the largest Federation starship capable of planetfall; it was designed, in the 2330's, to be able to land and take off again from a planet's surface. This was to be used in emergency situations only, as it is energy-consuming - four large impulse craft usually perform the go-between from ship to surface.

Korolev Class

U.S.S. KOROLEV

NX-*****

U.S.S. GODDARD

NCC-59621

Length: 450m, Beam: 208m, Height: 66m;

Crew Complement: 382; Deck Count: 18

The Korolev Class is a widely-used, yet seldom-seen starship. Production was in full swing in 2320, as a smaller counterpart to the then-experimental Ambassador Class. A number of Korolevs saw their operational lives abruptly terminated in the Borg incursion of 2367, at the Battle of Wolf 359. Though most have been refit and can more than hold their own, they have largely been relocated to the Federation's territory in Beta quadrant.

Mediterranean Class

U.S.S. MEDITERRANEAN

NX-*****

U.S.S. WYOMING

NCC-43730

U.S.S. LALO

NCC-43837

Length: 190m, Beam: 136m, Height: 41m; Crew Complement: 30

Deck Count: 10

Lieutenant Tuvok served on the Wyoming in 2349; the Lalo was the first to make visual contact with the infamous Borg Cube of 2366-7. Unfortunately, it was the last ever heard of that technical supply ship.

Merced Class

U.S.S. MERCED

NX-*****

U.S.S. TRIESTE

NCC-37124

Length: 320m, Beam: 142m, Height: 42m; Crew Complement: 210

Deck Count: 13

The android known as Data once served aboard the light cruiser/frigate Trieste.

Surak Class

U.S.S. SURAK

NX-*****

U.S.S. ZAPATA

NCC-33184

Length: 280m, Beam: ***m, Height: **m; Crew Complement: ***

Deck Count: 11

The Surak Class is most likely a Starfleet/Vulcan ship.

Wambundu Class

U.S.S. WAMBUNDU

NX-*****

U.S.S. FLEMING

NCC-20316

U.S.S. HOMERIC

NCC-20362

U.S.S. DRAKE

NCC-20381

Length: 195m, Beam: 92m, Height: 30m; Crew Complement: 38

Deck Count: 7

The Drake was destroyed by ancient weapons at the planet Minos in 2364. Fleming was one of the first starships to demonstrate just how dangerous old-style warp drive was to subspace in 2370 in the Hekaras Corridor.

Yorkshire Class

U.S.S. YORKSHIRE

NX-*****

U.S.S. DENVER

NCC-54927

Length: 182m, Beam: 102m, Height: 36m; Crew Complement: 70 (450 passengers)

Deck Count: 10

The Starship Denver struck a gravitic mine in 2368. Yorkshire Classes are intentionally simple in design - easily produced & repaired; can be converted into troop transports in short notice.

Zodiac Class

U.S.S. ZODIAC

NX-*****

U.S.S. YORKTOWN

NCC-61137

Length: ***m, Beam: ***m, Height: **m; Crew Complement: ***

Deck Count: **

The Starship Yorktown was ordered by Admiral Riker (in the alternate-future) to make long-range sensor scans of the Devron System.

Renaissance Class

U.S.S. RENAISSANCE

NX-9778

U.S.S. MARYLAND

NCC-45109

U.S.S. ARIES

NCC-45167

U.S.S. HORNET

NCC-45231

U.S.S. HOKKAIDO

NCC- *****

U.S.S. ARGOSY

NCC-41407

Length: 330.0m, Beam: 199m, Height: 70.4m; Crew Complement: 240

Deck Count: 19

The Renaissance Class was developed as a replacement for the retired Constitutions, when it was found that the recent Excelsiors were perhaps too large to use for some tasks - this was a project which incorporated all the latest experimental technology Starfleet had been preparing for the past several years. Though there were some problems at first, integrating all of the new technology was not as difficult as many had expected. This class of starship paved the way for the later Ambassador & Korolev Classes, and quite a few are still in service today, having undergone extensive refitting.
