Kremlin Class (2226)

The Kremlin class was a surveyor supposed to provide sufficient room for equipment as well as crew quarters for long-term missions in uncharted space. The saucer hull was adopted from the Asia class with minor changes in order to keep the development time short, a shuttlebay was attached to the saucer bottom. Advanced materials allowed to employ much smaller warp coils than those of the Asia class, while their number remained the same. The sensor performance of the Kremlin class was excellent. The armament, on the other hand, turned out insufficient when unexpected enemies such as the Romulans and the Tholians threatened the Federation border regions in the 2260s. Four of the Kremlin-class ships were lost during this era. The new situation required the presence of heavily armed starships like the Constitution class, and all smaller and more vulnerable vessels were gradually withdrawn to secure regions. Finally, in the 2280s, it became clear that refitting the outdated Kremlin class was not worth while, and the remaining six ships were decommissioned.
