Designed primarily as a courier ship,[1] the Mission class was launched in the late 22nd century, with the Mark II design entering service on Reference Stardate 1/9112 (December 2191),[2] and the Mark IV design entering service on RSD2/1802[3][4] Crew composition varied, based on the mission, and could be anywhere from 9 to 14 crew members. The ships had two 3-meter height decks, and a smaller, 2-meter height deck, for a total of 3 decks. The topmost deck contained the ship's engineering section, while the lower deck held the ship's bridge in the forward compartment, cargo space, and a single 3-person transporter. The mid-deck had crew quarters and the ship's galley, which also doubled as a small lounge.[1] The Mark II also included a second, dedicated cargo transporter.[2]
The class was given hull registries in three groups, based on mission type: NCC-13500-NCC-13999 (Mark I) were reserved for courier ships, and were named for famous diplomats; NCC-16600-NCC-16699 (Mark I) were reserved for research ships, and were named for scientists; and NCC-61000-NCC-61399[1] (Mark II)[2] were reserved for transports, and were named historical Naval officers.[1] By 2223, of the 682 Mission class vessels built, 238 remained in Star Fleet service, about 400 operated in the private sector, and the rest were listed as lost or destroyed.[3]
