The United Nations Space Force's Messier class warp cruiser entered service in January 2078; 875 were built. The class was the first to be equipped with the newly-developed particle beam cannon. The Messier class was the last entirely Earth-built major ship series. Carrying a crew of 93, the class remained in service until 2110. Refitted for military use, many Messier class ships, including the Pollux, saw considerable action during the Romulan War.[1][2]
