Pursuant to [[Starfleet]] Exploration Directive 1023.3 the ''Sovereign'' class provided a mobile platform for a wide range of ongoing mission profiles. Although its primary mission remained one of exploration and peace, many of the advances incorporated into the ship's design resulted from Starfleet's experiences with the [[Borg]].<ref name="LUG25100"/><ref name="Decipher3"/> The ''Sovereign'' class served a variety of capacities, from long-range exploration to diplomacy, and from combat to research. Able to project [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] policy into neighboring star systems, the class was well-suited to extended deep space missions without starbase support.<ref name="Decipher4"/>

Work on the ''Sovereign'' class began in 2365, but as the Borg threat became more apparent over the next several years, construction of the class was put on hold as the [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]] (SCE) began to augment and modify the design to counter Borg assaults.<ref name="Decipher4"/> With the catastrophic defeat of the fleet at the [[Battle of Wolf 359]], the [[Advanced Starship Design Bureau]] (ASDB), in conjunction with the Office of Strategic Operations, Office of Fleed Deployment, and the SCE,<ref name="Decipher3"/> launched a number of initiatives to upgrade the tactical capabilities of future starships. Many of these advances, designed for the ''[[Intrepid (II) class|Intrepid]]'' and ''[[Defiant class|Defiant]]'' classes, were applied to the ''Sovereign'' class. Construction of the ''[[U.S.S. Sovereign NCC-73811|U.S.S. Sovereign]]'' commenced four years after it had been suspended, and additional modifications were made as a result of its shakedown cruise.<ref name="Decipher4"/>

Perhaps the most technologically advanced starship ever built by Starfleet, the ''Sovereign'' was a throwback to the days of the ''[[Constitution class]]'' and their ability to "do it all."<ref name="Decipher4"/> Incorporating the strategic and tactical reccommendations from the Office of Strategic Operations, the Theoretical Propulsion Group, Tactical Operations Group and Spaceframe Design working groups of Starfleet R&D developed the [[Phaser#Pulse_Phasers|pulse phaser]], the [[Quantum torpedo]], [[Ablative armor|ablative hull plates]] and new spaceframe structures,<ref name="LUG25100"/> which were intended to make the class the leading instrument in Starfleet's plans well into the 25th century.<ref name="Decipher4"/> Starfleet's ASDB combined these advancements into several new starship classes, such as the ''[[Steamrunner class|Steamrunner]],'' ''[[Saber class|Saber]],'' and ''Intrepid'' classes.<ref name="LUG25100"/> The computer and control systems were state-of-the-art, and included the [[Bio-neural gel-pack|bio-neural gel-pack]] infrastructure used on ''Intrepid'' class vessels. Its sensors were unparalleled, boasting enhanced sensor gain, improved doppler-shift subroutines, and an increase in the variety of sensors available. Two aft shuttlebays housed several support and auxiliary craft, and the ''Sovereign'' was equipped with a number of standard, emergency, and cargo transporters.<ref name="Decipher4"/> While other, more recent starship designs, such as the ''Defiant, Steamrunner,'' and ''Saber'' classes, had pulled the warp nacelles closer into the body of the ship, the designers working on the ''Sovereign'' class decided to employ the more traditional configuration,<ref name="LUG25100"/> although the [[Warp drive|warp drive]] was of the new type that no longer distorted the space-time continuum above Warp 5.<ref name="Decipher3"/>

The standard mission duration for a ''Sovereign'' class vessel was rated at 7 years, with an estimated 18-year time between system overhauls.

The U.S.S. ''Sovereign'' was launched from the [[San Francisco Fleet Yards]] in 2370 as a testbed for many of these new technologies. With the destruction of the ''[[U.S.S.

The Sovereign class was commissioned c.2371. The Sovereign class sickbay shared a design substantially similar to that on Intrepid class ships. The entire room was fitted with holographic emitters and had an independent computer system that could project the sophisticated Emergency Medical Hologram, a holographic doctor that was designed to supplement the ship's medical personnel if they were killed, injured, or overwhelmed.[1]
