The Daedalus class came into service in the 22nd century,[1] and was one of the first types of starships commissioned and operated under the auspices of the United Federation of Planets. The Daedalus class was also among the first to demonstrate the primary/secondary hull design that would become characteristic of Starfleet vessels.[2] Unlike most starships, the Daedalus had a spherical main hull.[3] The last ships of this class were—at least officially—taken out of service by the year 2196.[1]
The more spartan fittings of Earth ships built for the Romulan War also affected the Daedalus class's feel; it began a century of minimal, utilitarian ship design that became the hallmark of 23rd century Starfleet vessels. The Daedalus class did not necessarily have the full technological capabilities to match its mission profile of deep space exploration and independent counterpiracy operations against the Orions and Nausicaans.[4] The furthest travelers often found themselves out of contact, which could explain why so many Daedalus class vessels vanished on these first missions.[4]
