The Constellation class heavy cruiser, first commissioned circa 2275,[1] was a radical departure in warp architecture[2] because of its four-engine-nacelle configuration.[3] The warp nacelles and several components of the saucer section shared many design similarities with the Constitution and Miranda class designs of the era,[3] though they also represented a departure in warp architecture that produced high warp speeds, but left the ships' engineering and main power converter areas vulnerable.[2] 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.[4] The class distinguished itself, particularly in the action involving the USS Stargazer under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. It was in this action that Picard introduced the now famous Picard Maneuver.[2] Constellation class ships were on the verge of being phased out in the mid-2360s,[5] but some were still in service in 2370.[6] 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.[5]

Of the 26 Constellation Class cruisers constructed, by 3/03 20 were still in service, 3 were destroyed, 1 was scrapped, and 2 lost (though one of these, the Stargazer, was subsequently recovered and decommissioned).[2]
