Columbus class (SFC)

The Columbus class sublight explorer—an 8,600-ton craft powered by a high-acceleration, sub-light Bussard ramjet, and housing a crew of 40—entered service in 2048 as Earth's largest space-going vessels. The class boasted advanced fusion engines that could produce speeds of up to 0.75c and was the first Human spacecraft class to carry on-board shuttlecraft for extra-vehicular excursions, but new ships incorporating Zefram Cochrane's warp drive engines soon superseded the class for interstellar flight, and the last ship of the class was retired in 2100.[1]
