The Oberth class research vessel, introduced in 2275, served as the backbone of Starfleet's scientific force for nearly a century.[4][5] Originally designed for low-risk, intensive surveys of new worlds,[2] the Oberth class was designed to remain on station while conducting high-resolution sensor scans, while utilizing its numerous scientific laboratories.[5] The class, however, initially proved to be too undergunned to be used in frontier areas, and was restricted to missions deep within Federation territory,[5] as it quickly became apparent that few surveys could truly be called "low-risk."[2] In 2341,[5] the class was refit, following the introduction of the U.S.S. Sagan NCC-20000. Conceived as an improvement on the weak class, the Sagan had improved power, shielding, and weaponry, so that it could better defend itself, if necessary, during the course of a mission. Though no longer in production by the 2360s, many Oberth class vessels remained in service,[3] and some had been sold to private interests.[8] By the 2370s, the Oberth class was being phased out in favor of the Nova class.[5]

Note
FASA's Star Trek: The Roleplaying Game lists three separate names for the class: Gagarin, Sagan, and Scout, as the game's supplements were published many years before the class was officially named in other sources, which disregarded these conflicting names.
