Constellation class

Background

Constellation class

Constellation class

The Constellation class was a starship type with four warp nacelles, first commissioned circa 2275. The warp nacelles and several components of the saucer section shared many design similarities with the Constitution and Miranda class designs of the era, though they also represented a radical departure in warp architecture that produced high warp speeds, but left the ships' engineering and main power converter areas vulnerable. The class also utilized expanded navigational and lateral sensor templates, and assumed a leading role in both deep space exploration and long-range perimeter defense in the early 24th century. Constellation class ships were on the verge of being phased out in the mid-2360s, but some were still in service in 2370. Several had already been decommissioned by 2365, including the U.S.S. Hathaway NCC-2593, which had been stripped of its offensive systems and rendered "warp inactive" by removing all antimatter from its warp reaction system.
