Constellation class
The Constellation class was a starship type with four warp nacelles,[1] first commissioned circa 2275.[2] The warp nacelles and several components of the saucer section shared many design similarities with the Constitution and Miranda class designs of the era,[1] 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.[3] 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] 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]
