Hopkins class (FASA)
First commissioned on Reference Stardate 0/9803 (March 2098), the Hopkins class, the first spacefaring hospital ships, were on call in Federation charter member systems. Along with the Horizon class, these interstellar hospital ships were among the first created by and for the newly-incorporated Federation. Each member planet contributed its particular design needs, so that the hospital ships could address the medical problems of all lifeforms then known. Immediately after the declaration of the Romulan War, ships of the class were sent to support areas of the battlefront, providing medical care for injured crewmen and civilians. Later, these ships played an integral part in the Federation's Medical Assistance Program and were dispatched to sectors or systems experiencing severe medical emergencies. The Hopkins class remained in service until 2133.[1][2]
