Mercury Class (2219)
The Mercury class could be regarded as a smaller version of the Asia class. Many research assignments of the obsolete Hercules class were taken over by the new Mercury-class ships. Moreover, because of its high warp velocity and extensive energy resources the new class was predestined for deep space exploration. Ships of the Mercury class operated far beyond the Federation borders and established many first contacts to alien civilizations. The design did not provide enough room for a bulky shuttle bay, so two hatches were installed to release and pick up the shuttles. After the significantly larger and better equipped Constitution class had been introduced, the Mercury class served mainly within the Federation space. Ships of this class were built until 2255. Nevertheless the last ships were decommissioned already in 2279.
