"Dear Lord: please don't let me fuck up." - Scott Glenn as Alan Shepard in The Right Stuff.

Reworking all this Star Trek starship stuff is going to be a real bitch.

The Star Trek media franchise includes numerous starships used by Starfleet, a branch of the United Federation of Planets.

Akira class

Akira class
[[File::Akira class starship.jpg|frameless|upright=1]]
First appearance	Star Trek: First Contact
Last appearance	"Endgame"

The Akira-class starship first appears in Star Trek: First Contact and subsequently in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.

Alex Jaeger of Industrial Light & Magic designed the Akira class, which is named for the anime film Akira. Jaeger commented on the design in an interview with Star Trek Magazine: "This was my gunship/battlecruiser/aircraft carrier. It has 15 torpedo launchers and two shuttlebays - one in front, with three doors, and one in the back. I really got into it with this one, with the whole idea that the front bay would be the launching bay, and then to return they'd come into the back, because they'd be protected by the rest of the ship."

Ambassador class
[[File::STYestEnterprise.jpg|frameless|upright=1]] The USS Enterprise
First appearance	"Yesterday's Enterprise"
Last appearance	"Emissary"

The Ambassador class was designed by Rick Sternbach and Andrew Probert, and Greg Jein built the model. The ship's design is intended to suggest a progression from the Excelsior class to the Galaxy clas. The Ambassador class first appears as a model of the USS Enterprise-C in the USS Enterprise-D's observation lounge. The Enterprise-C itself appears in "Yesterday's Enterprise", and other ships of the class appear in episodes of The Next Generation and the pilot episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Ships

Constellation class

Constellation class
[[File::Constellation001.jpg|frameless|upright=1]] The USS Hathaway (NCC-2593), a Constellation class
First appearance	"The Battle"
Last appearance	"Redemption Pt. 2

Designed by Andrew Probert and Rick Sternbach. Sternbach created a smaller model displayed in Picard's readyroom on which Greg Jein based a four-foot filming model. Sternbach's model was a kitbash involving Ertl's movie-era USS Enterprise models, the VF-1 Valkyrie from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, and other kits.

The USS Stargazer appears in "The Battle", the first Constellation-class ship to appear in the series. The ship was originally intended to be a Constitution-class ship so the visual effects staff could use the existing filming model. The decision to create a new ship occurred after "The Battle" was filmed; the "Constellation" name was chosen in large part because it could be dubbed over "Constitution" while still matching Geordi La Forge's lip movements for the close-up in which he identifies the Stargazer's class.

Ships

USS Constellation (NCC-1974)

Mentioned in "The Abandoned".

USS Gettysburg (NCC-3890)

Mentioned in "Too Short a Season" as Admiral Mark Jameson's last starship command.

Danube class

Danube class
[[File::Uss yangtzee kiang.jpg|frameless|upright=1]] The USS Yangtzee Kiang, a Danube-class vessel
First appearance	"Emissary"and/or "Timescape"
Last appearance	"What You Leave Behind"

The Danube class "runabout" was designed by Rick Sternbach and Jim Martin for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in 1992. They are multirole vessels used for short-range movement of personnel and supplies.

The Danube class runabout features a modular design; the assembly of the spine, pylons, nacelles, and command module is permanent while the four aft modules are interchangeable to suit mission parameters. Modules include various research laboratories, sensor stations, power generators, living quarters, storage and hazardous storage, and other supplemental modules.

Ships

USS Danube (NCC-72003, ex-NX-72003)

Constructed in 2368 at Utopia Planitia shipyards and was the pathfinder of its class.

USS Gander (Registry unknown)

Destroyed by the Jem'Hadar over Goralis in 2375. The Gander was originally to be named Ganges, however due to an earlier runabout possessing that name, it was changed to Gander and was dubbed over in lines featuring the name.

USS Ganges (NCC-72454)

Assigned to Deep Space Nine. The Ganges was destroyed in 2370 by a T'Lani vessel.

USS Mekong (NCC-72617)

Destroyed in 2371 during the joint Cardassian/Romulan assault on the Founder's Homeworld in the Omarion Nebula. It had been assigned to DS9 to replace the Ganges.

USS Orinoco (NCC-72905)

Destroyed in 2372 by a Cardassian separatist group named "The True Way." It had been assigned to DS9 to replace the Yangtzee Kiang.

USS Rio Grande (NCC-72452)

Assigned to Deep Space Nine circa stardate 46379.1 in 2369. It is the only runabout known to have survived all seven years of Captain Benjamin Sisko's command aboard Deep Space Nine. It is also the runabout that was used when the Bajoran Wormhole was discovered by Captain Sisko and the late Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax.

USS Rubicon (NCC-72936)

Used to investigate a rare subspace compression anomaly circa stardate 51474.2. The Rubicon was presumably the runabout taken by Worf and Garak when they were captured by the Dominion. The Rubicon is presumed still in active service at DS9 as of 2376.

USS Shenandoah (NCC-73024)

Assigned to Deep Space Nine. On stardate 51825, Ensign Nog and Jake Sisko used the Shenandoah to deliver an official diplomatic message to Grand Nagus Zek. The Shenandoah was destroyed by Jem'Hadar attack ships but Nog and Jake Sisko were saved by the Defiant class USS Valiant in 2374.

USS Volga (NCC-73196)

Used in a 2372 botanical survey of the planet Torad V.

USS Yangtzee Kiang (NCC-72453)

Destroyed in a crash on a penal colony moon in the Gamma Quadrant, thus gaining the dubious honour of being the first DS9 runabout destroyed on the series.

USS Yukon (NCC-74602)

Destroyed by the USS Defiant when a Dominion agent stole the runabout to destroy the Bajor system's sun.

The Deep Space Nine relaunch novels introduced new runabouts, including the Brahmaputra and the Yolja. The Yolja was named by Kira Nerys following Bajor's admittance to the United Federation of Planets and is an exception to the naming system: the Yolja is a river on Bajor, rather than Earth.

Defiant class

Defiant Class
First appearance	"The Search"
Last appearance	"Endgame"

The Defiant class was designed by James Martin under the direction of Herman Zimmerman and Gary Hutzel, and introduced in the form of the USS Defiant in the third season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Ships in the class also appear in Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: First Contact.

The Defiant class vessel is one of Starfleet's most advanced ship designs, conceived in response to the Borg threat. In the Episode "The Search", Benjamin Sisko -- who helped design the ship -- says the Defiant is officially designated an "escort" ship. A diminished Borg threat and engineering problems – particularly in regard to the small ship's overpowered engines – led Starfleet to mothball the project.

Ships

USS Defiant (NX-74205)

The class pathfinder built at the Antares Fleet Yards. The Defiant is assigned to space station Deep Space Nine in 2371 to help protect the Alpha Quadrant from the growing threat from the Dominion. The Romulans equipped the ship with a cloaking device for use on intelligence-gathering missions in the Gamma Quadrant. The ship is destroyed in 2375 after attempting to stop the Dominion and Breen from retaking the Chin'toka system during the Dominion War.

USS São Paulo (NCC-75633)

Assigned to Deep Space Nine after the Defiant's destruction and rechristened as the USS Defiant. The studio did not wish to spend the time or money to redo stock effects shots of the Defiant used to depict this new vessel. As such, exterior shots of the ship include the registry number "NX-74205".

USS Valiant (NCC-74210)

Crewed by Starfleet cadets in "Valiant", and destroyed by the Dominion.

Excelsior class

Excelsior class
[[File::Excelsior07.jpg|frameless|upright=1]] The Excelsior-class starship Excelsior
First appearance	Star Trek III
Last appearance	"Endgame"

The USS Excelsior was designed by Industrial Light & Magic's Bill George for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, in which it is a testbed for transwarp drive. The ship appears in subsequent films, and the model was re-used for other ships in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as well as the finale of Star Trek: Voyager. Star Trek Generations also uses the same model, with various additions designed by John Eaves, for the USS Enterprise-B. Some alterations to the model were made to allow special effects artists to show damage to that part of the ship without permantently altering the original).

Ships

USS Al-Batani (NCC-42995)

Although it never appeared on screen, the Al-Batani was mentioned in dialogue throughout Star Trek: Voyager as the first ship aboard which Kathryn Janeway served, as science officer under Tom Paris' father Captain Owen Paris. The Al-Batani was once trapped by gravimetric forces inside a proto-nebula for three days before escaping. Never defined on screen, the class and registry number come from the Star Trek Encyclopedia.Okuda, Michael & Denise (1994,1997,1999). Star Trek Encyclopedia. New York: Pocket Books.

USS Charleston (NCC-42285)

Transports three cryogenically frozen 20th century people to Earth while heading to Arloff IX in 2364 (TNG: "The Neutral Zone"). The Charleston is later involved in the Romulan tachyon blockade at the outbreak of the Klingon Civil War in 2368 (TNG: "Redemption, Part II"). In 2369, the Charleston is assigned to a deep space exploration mission to sector 22055 (TNG: "Brothers").

USS Crockett (NCC-38955)

Transports Admiral Mitsuya to Deep Space Nine in 2370 (DS9: "Paradise").

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B)

Named for several naval vessels in Earth history as well as several previous Starfleet vessels, the Enterprise-B was commissioned in 2293 and commanded by Captain John Harriman at its launch (Star Trek Generations). The ship was succeeded by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise"). This vessel was a variation upon the original Excelsior design, including minor differences in the exterior of the primary and secondary hull.

USS Excelsior (NX-2000, changed to NCC-2000)

According to the ship's dedication plaque, the USS Excelsior is the first ship of its class, launched from the San Francisco Fleet Yards. The ship first appears in Star Trek III under the command of Captain Styles. Later commanded by Captain Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, it spent three years cataloging gaseous planetary anomalies in the Beta Quadrant. In 2293, the Excelsior encounters the shock wave from the explosion of Praxis. Shortly afterward, in the Voyager episode "Flashback", the Excelsior is involved in a failed attempt to rescue Captain James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy and is attacked by several K't'inga class starships. The Excelsior later plays a vital role in defeating General Chang over Khitomer during the signing of the First Khitomer Accords.

USS Farragut

Transports several genetically enhanced humans to Deep Space Nine in early 2375 (DS9: "Chrysalis").

USS Fearless (NCC-14598)

USS Grissom (NCC-42857)

The starship Grissom assists the Enterprise-D during a contamination problem on Beta Agni II in 2368 (TNG: "The Most Toys"). The Grissom was destroyed by Jem'Hadar forces in the battle of Ricktor Prime in 2375 during the Dominion War. Only six crewmembers survived, including Vulcan science officer Lieutenant Chu'lak, who later murders several Starfleet officers on Deep Space Nine (DS9: "Field of Fire"). According to the production notes in The Star Trek Encyclopedia, a previous starship Grissom was named for astronaut Gus Grissom.

USS Hood (NCC-42296)

Commanded by Captain Robert DeSoto and was Commander William Riker's assignment before his transfer to the Enterprise-D in 2364. The Hood is sent to the Romulan Neutral Zone to help ward off a possible Romulan attack in 2366 (TNG: "The Defector (TNG episode)"). The Hood is on a terraforming project on Browder IV (TNG: "Allegiance"). The Hood transfers Tam Elbrun to the Enterprise-D in the Hayashi system (TNG: "Tin Man"). In 2368, the Hood undergoes a systems upgrade at Starbase 174 (TNG: "Brothers") and is later involved in the Romulan tachyon blockade at the outbreak of the Klingon Civil War (TNG: "Redemption, Part II"). The Hood is part of Operation Return during the Dominion War (DS9: "A Time to Stand", "Sacrifice of Angels") and fights at the First Battle of Chin'toka (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets"). The ship is part of Battle Group Omega sent to intercept the Reman warship Scimitar in 2379 (Star Trek Nemesis).

USS Intrepid (NCC-38907)

The starship Intrepid responded to a Klingon distress call from the Khitomer outpost following a Romulan attack in 2346 (TNG: "Sins of the Father", TNG: "Redemption, Part I"). As an in-joke, the ship's captain was named on a bridge display as Drew Deighan, one of the writers of "Sins of the Father". Presumed decommissioned, destroyed, or missing to give her name to the Intrepid class starship.

USS Lakota (NCC-42768)

The Lakota under the command of Captain Erika Benteen intercepts the USS Defiant on the latter's way to earth during Vice Admiral Leyton's attempted coup (DS9: "Paradise Lost"). She also shared the same design variation as the Enterprise-B as seen in Generations.

USS Livingston (NCC-34099)

Benjamin Sisko was assigned to the Livingston upon being promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Sisko and Curzon Dax first met aboard the ship when they served together there during the 2360s, leading to a lifetime friendship. An episode of DS9 (DS9: "Invasive Procedures") described an incident they witnessed while serving aboard in which the Livingstons science officer, Kustanovich, performed a stunt involving the consumption of eight helpings of Andorian redbat.

USS Malinche (NCC-38997)

Under the command of Captain Sanders, the Malinche is transferred from its patrol near the Gamma 7 outpost to the task of capturing Michael Eddington. The ship is ambushed and disabled by a group of Maquis raiders led by Eddington soon after (DS9: "For the Uniform").

First appearance	"Encounter at Farpoint"
Last appearance	"These Are The Voyages..."

The Galaxy class includes the USS Enterprise-D, the starship featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The Galaxy-class model was designed by Andrew Probert, and the interiors were designed by Probert and Herman Zimmerman during the show's first season. Richard D. James designed and rebuilt the sets for the remaining six years, while Zimmerman returned for Star Trek Generations. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry stated that only six Galaxy-class starships had been constructed during the Next Generation time frame. Within the series, it is stated that design and construction of the Galaxy class began in the 2340s, with the first ships being commissioned in the 2360s.

Ships

USS Challenger (NCC-71099)

In the Voyager episode "Timeless", in an alternate future, Harry Kim encounters and is pursued by the USS Challenger captained by Next Generation character Geordi La Forge.

USS Galaxy (NCC-70637)

A number of Galaxy-class starships appear in the Deep Space Nine episode "Tears of the Prophets". Although it isn't clear on-screen, the series' visual effects supervisor David Stipes confirmed that one of the Galaxy-class starships seen in the episode was intended to be the USS Galaxy.

USS Odyssey (NCC-71832)

In the Deep Space Nine episode "The Jem'Hadar", the USS Odyssey is destroyed while on a mission to rescue Commander Sisko, Jake Sisko, Nog and Quark.

USS Venture (NCC-71854)

The Venture appeared briefly in a number of episodes of Deep Space Nine starting with "The Way of the Warrior, Part II", docked to the station or in battle scenes. Like the Galaxy, the appearance of the Venture in the episode Tears of the Prophets was confirmed by David Stipes.

USS Yamato

The Yamato appears as a illusion in the Next Generation second season episode "Where Silence Has Lease". In the second-season episode "Contagion", the crew of the Enterprise-D rendezvous with the Yamato just in time to witness its destruction. Due to errors by the production staff, the registry number of the Yamato was read by Commander Riker as NCC-1305-E in the episode "Where Silence Has Lease", while in the episode "Contagion" the registry number on the shooting model, and various diagrams was NCC-71807.

Hope class

Hope class
First appearance	"All Good Things..."

The primary setting of Star Trek: Voyager, which features a joint Starfleet-Maquis crew lost in the Delta Quadrant for seven years.

Miranda class

Miranda class
[[File::USS Reliant.jpg|frameless|upright=1]] The Miranda-class USS Reliant
First appearance	Star Trek II
Last appearance	"What You Leave Behind"

The Miranda class first appears in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan then in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and subsequently in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

The Miranda-class USS Reliant was designed by Joe Jennings and Mike Minor and built by Industrial Light & Magic for Star Trek II. The Reliant is the first Federation starship seen in Star Trek that is not a Constitution-class vessel. The Reliant was designed to have the warp nacelles above the saucer section -- however, during pre-production a Reliant storyboard was displayed upside down, and the production team felt the nacelles would look much better underneath. Additionally, they felt this would help viewers better distinguish between the Enterprise and Reliant.

The TNG episode "Cause and Effect" depicts a Soyuz-class vessel, the USS Bozeman. The Star Trek Encyclopedia calls this a "variant" on the Miranda class, and notes that a modified version of the Miranda studio model was used.

Ships

USS Brattain (NCC-21166)

The starship Brattain was launched from the 40 Eridani-A Starfleet Construction Yards in 2347. In 2367, the Brattain was commanded by Captain Chantal Zaheva when it disappeared and is discovered in the Tyken's Rift, a spatial phenomenon which absorbs energy coming from a source within it. Most of the crew are found dead.

USS Helin (NCC-1692)

Named for scientist and astronomer Eleanor Helin, the starship Helin was on patrol along the Romulan neutral zone in sector 21290 in 2293 and is listed as one of the ships that could have taken part in an attempt to rescue James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy from Rura Penthe.

First appearance	"Message in a Bottle"
Last appearance	"Endgame"
General characteristics
Class	Prometheus

The USS Prometheus is a fictional starship in the science fiction franchise Star Trek.

In the episode "Message in a Bottle", the USS Prometheus was fully commissioned and began a series of shakedown cruises before it was stolen by Romulans. USS Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram and the experimental Mark II Emergency Medical Hologram aboard the Prometheus help Starfleet successfully retake the ship. It was on this mission that Starfleet learns of Voyager's presence in the Delta Quadrant. When a Borg transwarp conduit opens near Earth, a Prometheus-class ship is part of the fleet that is sent to intercept the perceived threat and escorts Voyager home. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Azati Prime", when Jonathan Archer is transported to the future by Daniels, several shots of the battle through a window are shown. One or more Prometheus class ships fly by the Enterprise-J just long enough to be visible.

Development on the Prometheus-class starship project began in the early 2360s at the Beta Antares shipyards. With the Dominion threat becoming more serious, development was stepped up and construction began in the early 2370s. The Prometheus design borrows its shape from the Intrepid-class starships, except it features four standard warp nacelles similar in design to the nacelles used in the Sovereign-class starship. In 2374, the U.S.S. Prometheus NX-59650 was launched and began top secret field tests.

The USS Prometheus is a testbed of technologies being researched by Starfleet. In standard configuration, the ship is composed of an arrowhead-shaped primary hull attached directly to a secondary hull supporting four warp nacelles on short pylons in an 'X' configuration. In battle, this ship can go into "multi-vector assault mode" in which the vessel may divide into three ships — the saucer, the upper engineering hull, and the lower engineering hull — to allow for multiple independently moving weapons platforms. The saucer has two small warp nacelles that are stored in recesses while joined and extend once the saucer has separated. The three components can later reconnect. A line of dialogue from the Mark II Emergency Medical Hologram reveals that the Prometheus was designed to go faster than any other vessel in Starfleet.

It is outfitted with regenerative deflector shields and ablative armor (an outer hull layer that vaporizes under weapons fire, thereby dissipating energy and protecting the ship's interior).

Another innovation is the installation of holoemitters throughout the ship, which allows its holographic doctor, the EMH Mark II (also a prototype), to operate in all crew areas. This aspect of the design was crucial in recovering the Prometheus from Romulan hands in 2374.

Saber class

Saber class
First appearance	Star Trek: The Next Generation
Last appearance	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the Saber class starship is a type of starship produced and used by Starfleet in the 24th century. The Saber class was designed by Alex Jaeger at Industrial Light and Magic and rendered as a computer-generated visual effect. This ship first appears in Star Trek: First Contact and later appears in at least ten episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

The basic form of the ship is that of an elliptic saucer-shaped hull, with the width of it being fore to aft and its length the ship's width abeam. From the tips of the ellipse, two nacelles, each housing a warp engine run aft; between them, from the center of the primary hull, an extension of the hull, slightly longer than the nacelles, runs aftward, housing the engineering section, and in an underslung construction on its ventral side, the navigational deflector. The ship's phaser strips and lifeboats occupy the dorsal saucer. Two impulse engines are located between the engineering hull and the engines, one on each side of the ship. The Bussard ramscoops are found on the front edge of the saucer, one near each end of it. The Saber class appears in Star Trek Armada II. The "Saber" class also appears in Star Trek: Starfleet Command III as the basic "frigate" ship that Federation players start with. It also serves this function in Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Dominion Wars.

Ships

USS Yeager (NCC-61947)

Named for Chuck Yeager, the starship Yeager fought in the Battle of Sector 001 in 2373.

USS da Vinci (NCC-81623)

ship from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers series of novels and named for the Italian polymath, Leonardo da Vinci.

Sovereign class

Sovereign class
[[File::USS Enterprise E First Contact.jpg|frameless|upright=1]] The Sovereign class starship USS Enterprise-E in First Contact
First appearance	Star Trek: First Contact
Last appearance	Star Trek Nemesis

The Sovereign class first appears in Star Trek: First Contact in the form of the USS Enterprise-E, designed by Herman Zimmerman and illustrator John Eaves.

Ships

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)

Commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Enterprise was launched in 2372 from the San Francisco Yards. The next year, the Enterprise fights in the Battle of Sector 001 before being transported back to 2063 where the Borg partially assimilate it during their attempt to prevent first contact between humans and Vulcans. In 2375, the Enterprise crew prevents the forced relocation of the Ba'ku people from their planet in the Briar Patch. In 2379, the ship travels to Romulus to meet with Praetor Shinzon. The Enterprise is severely damaged while fighting Shinzon's Scimitar, and shortly thereafter undergoes major repairs in orbit over Earth. First Contact describes the Enterprise as Starfleet's "most advanced" ship, and the Enterprise is the Federation flagship in Star Trek Nemesis.

USS Sovereign (NX-73811) later (NCC-73811)

Appears in Star Trek Bridge Commander and plays a vital role in the game. It is also the pathfinder for this class.

Steamrunner class

Steamrunner class
First appearance	Star Trek: First Contact

In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Steamrunner class is a rarely seen class of Starfleet starship. In real life, the Steamrunner class was designed by Alex Jaeger at Industrial Light and Magic and rendered as a computer-generated visual effect. It was originally called the Streamrunner, named for the song "Streamrunner" by Fold Zandura but for some reason the first 'r' had been dropped.

The Steamrunner class served during the Dominion War and Borg incursions; at least one Steamrunner was lost in the explosion of the Borg cube during the Battle of Sector 001. The only clearly identified Steamrunner-class starship is the USS Appalachia (NCC-52136), which is seen fighting the Borg cube towards the start of the movie Star Trek: First Contact.

This ship design has an angular saucer-shaped hull. Like the Saber class, the Steamrunner has two warp nacelles embedded in the saucer.

Instead of an engineering hull, an underslung secondary hull with a blue navigational deflector at the forefront is attached to the nacelles by a pylon running downward and inward at the aft end of each. The main bridge and the dorsal phaser array are embedded into the saucer. The primary hull's ventral side is dominated by the ship's ventral phaser array and lifeboats. Two impulse engines are located between the nacelles with one on each side of the ship.

The Steamrunner class is featured in the non-canon Star Trek: Armada series of computer games as the Federation's long range artillery ship. It also appears in the game Star Trek: Legacy as a Destroyer.
