Detroit Class (2223)
The warp pylons of the Detroit class were directly attached to the bottom of the saucer section. Many components of the ships were compatible to the Asia class. The warp drive of the latter class was adopted without major changes, and its performance could be slightly improved. Besides research, the main assignments of the Detroit class were transport, rescue missions and military tasks. Its armament was superior to all previous starship types. For instance, the Detroit class was the first class equipped with photon torpedoes as standard weapons. Two large shuttle bays were located on either side of the center impulse drive. The ships became obsolete in the 2260's. Unlike the Asia class, reconstruction of the Detroit class was not regarded worth while.
