Starfleet Starships


Akira

General description

The Akira class is a relatively large type of starship with heavy armament. The warp pylons are swept downward and are affixed at their upper ends to two catamaran-like secondary hulls which run into the top of the saucer section. A weapons module is located at the top between the two secondary hulls. The Akira has two shuttlebay doors at the rear and one central door at the front end of the saucer.

Annotations

  1. Ships of the Akira class are in the fleet that appears at the end of PRO: "Mindwalk" and that falls victim to the Living Construct in "Supernova I/II".
  2. Apparently all ships of the class in the fleet are labeled as USS Thunderchild NCC-63549.

Centaur type

General description

The classification of the USS Centaur is unknown. The ship was possibly introduced in the early 24th century. It has a weapons or deflector pod similar to the Miranda at the bottom of the saucer between the warp engines.

Known ships

USS Centaur NCC-42043
 

Annotations

  1. Ships of the Centaur type are in the fleet that appears at the end of PRO: "Mindwalk" and that falls victim to the Living Construct in "Supernova I/II". The ship type was originally seen in DS9: "A Time to Stand", where it was represented by a kitbash built by Adam Buckner. The appearance in Prodigy is the first one after some 25 years.
  2. The Prodigy episode uses a CG model probably provided by Eaglemoss, whose saucer is closer to the look of the Excelsior and which doesn't include all of the countless greebles of the model from DS9. The Eaglemoss/Prodigy Centaur is arguably supposed to be bigger, contrary to the original intention. This database keeps the ship small for the time being.
  3. Apparently all ships of the type in the fleet are labeled as USS Centaur NCC-42043.

Constitution

General description

The Constitution class was introduced around 2240. At that time the Constitution class was the fastest and most powerful ship type of the fleet.

Known ships

USS Enterprise NCC-1701
 

Annotations

  1. A Constitution-class ship, and specifically the original USS Enterprise, can be seen as Janeway introduces the Federation to the "cadets" in PRO: "Starstruck".
  2. Janeway clearly shows the (somewhat stylized) genuine design from TOS, not the Discoverse reimagination, although the Crossfield class can be seen on the same display.

Annotations

  1. A Crossfield-class vessel with the registry NCC-1031 shows up in Janeway's "Federation promo" in PRO: "Starstruck".
  2. Of course, this is a crossover with Star Trek Discovery. According to EAS policy, only the bare facts given in the PRO episode are acknowledged, not the whole back story of the USS Discovery with the spore drive and everything.

Dauntless

General description

The Dauntless class is a Starfleet ship class operated in the late 24th century. The ships are equipped with quantum slipstream drive that allows much faster speeds than standard warp propulsion.
Article: Starship Size Issues

Known ships

USS Dauntless NCC-80816
 

Annotations

  1. The USS Dauntless, commanded by Vice Admiral Janeway on a mission to find the missing USS Protostar, first appears in PRO: "A Moral Star II".
  2. The USS Dauntless NCC-80816 looks much like the fake Starfleet ship USS Dauntless NX-01-A that Arturis created with particle synthesis in VOY: "Hope and Fear", in an effort to take revenge on the Voyager crew for the assimilation of his species by the Borg. There are several differences, however. Most obviously, the dorsal surface of the original Dauntless was flush from bow to stern, whereas the new one has a distinct kink between the tall saucer and the engineering section.
  3. The size of the ship may have changed even more dramatically. The Dauntless that Arturis built had seven decks and was only some 150m long (about the same size as the Protostar). Going by the window rows as well as by the encounter with the USS Protostar in "Crossroads", Admiral Janeway's version is about ten times as large (in terms of volume). The MSD of the Dauntless does not comply with the new size at all and includes only eight decks in an arrangement almost exactly as on the original ship. Since the other size evidence is far more prominent, we need to ignore the MSD.
  4. The bridge of Janeway's Dauntless is nearly identical to the Starfleet version of Arturis's convertible Starfleet/alien design in "Hope and Fear".
  5. The possible design history of this ship is a headscratcher. The more or less official rationale is that Starfleet reverse-engineered the alien vessel based on the data that Voyager could collect. Since an experimental quantum slipstream drive was installed on Voyager in VOY: "Timeless", it makes sense as a next step to build a whole new ship as a testbed for the technology. We may also argue that the shape of the vessel is dictated to some extent by the slipstream technology, and that it may have been an aesthetic choice to go with the basic look of the Dauntless from the Delta Quadrant. However, exactly reproducing the bridge of that vessel is preposterous, especially since it was only a fake version of the actual "alien" command center. In any case, the USS Dauntless NCC-80816 is not the same class and is not a variation of the USS Dauntless NX-01-A. It is an entirely new, much bigger design that adopts its propulsion technology and merely takes some design cues.
  6. An alternative and perhaps better theory is that Arturis somehow got his hands on plans of a real Starfleet ship project with a new propulsion technology. After all, he must have known a lot on Starfleet design principles and technology to be able to fool the crew of Voyager in the first place. So he shaped his vessel like the one that Starfleet was planning and even gave it the same name (plus an odd registry). When Starfleet actually built the USS Dauntless NCC-80816, the design may or may not incorporate technology reverse-engineered from the fake vessel, such as the slipstream drive.

Defiant

General description

Unlike other Starfleet ships, the Defiant class is primarily designed for combat. It was developed in order to fight the Borg. Besides conventional weapons the ship has pulse phaser cannons and quantum torpedo launchers.

Known ships

USS Defiant NX-74205
 

Annotations

  1. A ship of the class, and specifically the USS Defiant, shows up in Janeway's "Federation promo" in PRO: "Starstruck".
  2. Ships of the Defiant class are in the fleet that appears at the end of PRO: "Mindwalk" and that falls victim to the Living Construct in "Supernova I/II".
  3. Maybe all ships of the class in the fleet are labeled as USS Defiant NX-74205, but we may argue that we only see one ship up close in the battle.

Excelsior

General description

The Excelsior NX-2000 was originally equipped with an experimental transwarp drive. A large number of Excelsior-class starships was built over a period of more than 60 years. Excelsior-class ships incorporate two shuttlebays in the engineering hull stern and keel. The design is still widespread in the mid-24th century.

Known ships

USS Cairo NCC-42136
 

Annotations

  1. The saucer labeled "USS Cairo NCC-42136" appears among the wreckage on the Kazon training planet in PRO: "The Fast and the Curious". It almost definitely isn't this very ship by mere chance. The Cairo was Jellico's command in TNG: "Chain Of Command I". Perhaps someone behind the scenes didn't like his command style?
  2. I included the ship for the sake of completeness, although I think it's a rather sick in-joke with the implication that the whole crew died in stupid shuttle races on the Kazon planet, rather than in the Dominion War.

Kobayashi Maru type

General description

The Kobayashi Maru is a Class III neutronic fuel carrier.

Known ships

Kobayashi Maru
 

Annotations

  1. The ship can be seen in the simulation in PRO: "Kobayashi".
  2. The legendary Kobayashi Maru was first mentioned in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". Several unofficial designs of the ship were floating around for decades, but a canon Kobayashi Maru (at least its Prime Universe version) never appeared on screen until the Prodigy episode, for more than 40 years.
  3. It would be sick humor if Starfleet "destroyed" an actually existing ship this way. The ship type, on the other hand, along with the specifications that were seen on screen, is probably as authentic as the whole simulation is supposed to be. The Prodigy episode shows the same specs as "Star Trek II".
  4. The Kobayashi Maru appears to have a Starfleet pennant and NCC number.

Lamarr

General description

Voyager-A is a refitted ship of the Lamarr class, a large and highly advanced science ship of the late 24th century. It is equipped with slipstream drive, has a cetacean ops and two schools.
Article: Starship Size Issues

Known ships

USS Voyager NCC-74656-A
 

Annotations

  1. Voyager-A appears since PRO: "Into the Breach I" and is explicitly mentioned to be a ship of the Lamarr class.
  2. The design looks much like a "Protostarred" and "Sovereignized" version of the original Intrepid-class Voyager. Especially the characteristic upper forward sensor array and the deflector dish are like on the latter ship, but without an in-universe rationale.
  3. The ship officially has two shuttlebays, one not depicted in the MSD and one at the aft end. "Shuttlebay 3", where the secret Infinity is kept, is a cargo bay behind with a lateral hatch behind the deflector dish.
  4. The number, locations and sizes of the shuttlebay(s) shown in episodes are highly problematic. Most notably, one shot from "Ascension II" shows Janeway and Chakotay in a Discovery-like shuttlebay with a clear height of 23 meters and a width of 60 meters, embedded into a straight vertical wall, which seems to extend well beyond the shuttlebay in every direction. Wherever on the ship this is supposed to be, it is physically impossible.
  5. Voyager-A (just like the Protostar) has no windows or other features at all in the secondary hull that establish a deck structure. In "Into the Breach I" Voyager-A is stated to have 29 decks (making the ship at least 700m long), whereas the MSD shows only 25 decks and deck 32 is mentioned as soon as in "Into the Breach II". Ouch.
  6. We can also see the Mirror version of Voyager-A in "Cracked Mirror" (which doesn't warrant a page of its own in this database).

Prometheus

General description

The Prometheus is the prototype of a multi-vector assault vessel, designed for deep-space tactical assignments. In combat, the ship splits into three parts, namely the top and bottom halves of the engineering hull with two warp nacelles each, and the primary hull which is also equipped with two small extendable warp engines. The single parts are heavily armed; furthermore the ship features regenerative shielding and ablative hull armor.

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. In PRO: "Preludes", a Prometheus class is shown as the ship that will establish first contact with the planet Solum several years in the future. It is a stylized illustration of a recount, but we can clearly identify the class.
  2. The ship is shown twice in the episode, and curiously upside down on both occasions. The first time, we are looking up from the surface of Solum, and we see the dorsal side of the Prometheus. The second time, the view goes down to the planet, with the ventral hull of the ship being visible now.

Protostar

General description

The USS Protostar NX-76884 was a small experimental Starfleet ship with protostar drive, allowing much higher speeds than conventional warp engines. It was capable of atmospheric flight and planetary landing and came equipped with a vehicle replicator. After the destruction of the prototype vessel, Starfleet approved of full production of the Protostar class in 2384, with the first ship, the Prodigy, being launched in 2385.
Article: Starship Size Issues

Known ships

USS Protostar NX-76884
USS Prodigy NCC-81084

Annotations

  1. The USS Protostar has a quite curious service history. Launched some time prior to 2384 under the command of Captain Chakotay, the ship fell into a wormhole and emerged some 50 years in the future near the planet Solum. At that time, the planet had experienced a civil war, for which the population blamed the Federation. Chakotay and his crew were captured and the ship was equipped with a deadly weapon that would make Starfleet ships turn against each other, the Living Construct. Chakotay managed to launch the vessel prematurely but had to stay behind. It went back through the wormhole and got buried underneath the surface of Tars Lamora. After being recovered by Dal and his friends, the Protostar was on the run from the Diviner and from Starfleet as well. After the disastrous activation of the Living Construct, the crew set the ship for self-destruct (PRO: "Supernova II"). In a new timeline, however, the ship went back to the past with Chakotay, and instead of ending up on Tars Lamora, it rested (and rusted) on the surface of the planet Ysida for as long as ten years. This version of the Protostar was then transferred back to Tars Lamora to become the vessel that Dal and his friends would find (PRO: "Ouroboros II").
  2. The crews of Voyager and of the Protostar did a pretty amazing (or rather, very unrealistic) job when they restored the Protostar from a rusty wreck to a pristine ship in a matter of a few days, in deep space without the support of a spacedock, between PRO: "Cracked Mirror" and "Ascension I" - and once again after the extra damage in "Ascension II".
  3. Some features of the Protostar are eccentric, such as the fact that engineering is exposed to open space once the protostar drive with its complicated unfolding mechanism is activated (PRO: "Time Amok"). Also, there are apparently no auxiliary vessels besides the escape pods (which were all ejected in PRO: "Starstruck"), and it needs patience if one is urgently needed because the vehicle replicator takes its time (PRO: "Starstruck", "Supernova II").
  4. The second ship of the class, which is supposed to go into series production at that time, appears at the end of "Supernova II". We learn in "Ouroboros II" that it is the USS Prodigy NCC-81084.
  5. The official length of the Protostar is just 139m (with six decks as confirmed by Aaron Waltke). This complies with most visual evidence of the outside of the ship, whereas the spacious interiors definitely wouldn't fit in and would require a ship scaled up by a factor of 2.

Sovereign

General description

The Sovereign is a large ship type, and among the most advanced ones of Starfleet. Its weapons include quantum torpedoes, which are fired from a module at the bottom of the saucer hull and various other locations. The Sovereign class has a warp-capable captain's yacht too.

Starfleet Shuttles


Aquashuttle 07 type

General description

The aquashuttle can be operated under water and is available on a Protostar-class vessel.

Known shuttles

(Name unknown) 07
 

Annotations

  1. The aquashuttle appears at the beginning of PRO: "Asylum". We don't know what happened with the shuttle after that episode. It was probably no option to use it to escape in "Supernova II", and so it may have been destroyed together with the ship.
  2. I assume the aquashuttle came out of the vehicle replicator because why would such a specialized vehicle be stored, whereas standard shuttles need to be built?

Galileo 7 type

General description

This type of shuttles was carried aboard Federation starships and also used on starbases in the 2260s.
Article: Starships in TOS and TOS Remastered
Gallery: Federation Shuttlecraft

Known shuttles

Galileo NCC-1701/7
 

Annotations

  1. A shuttlecraft of this type, and specifically the Galileo NCC-1701/7, can be seen when Janeway introduces the Federation in PRO: "Starstruck".
  2. The Galileo NCC-1701/7 itself appears on Planet 0042692 in PRO: "All the World's a Stage", after Ensign Garrovick crashed it there in the 2260's. The shuttle has a plasma leak that causes an illness among the local population known as the "gallows".
  3. The shuttle in "All the World's a Stage" is likely the very same Galileo that was last seen in use by Spock in TOS: "The Immunity Syndrome". The previous Galileo had been famously lost in "The Galileo Seven". The next Galileo (and arguably a different shuttle) would bear the Roman numeral II in "Way to Eden", although it technically has to be at least the third one of this name.

Infinity type

General description

The Infinity was an experimental shuttle with cloaking and temporal shielding.

Known shuttles

Infinity
 

Annotations

  1. The Infinity was kept in the secret "shuttlebay 3" aboard Voyager-A until PRO: "Into the Breach II". Janeway was hoping to use the ship to retrieve Chakotay from the other side of the temporal wormhole. The temporal shielding was supposed to protect the crew against paradoxes.
  2. The design of the Infinity includes elements from Chakotay's raider (lateral hull parts and engines), from the executive shuttle aka Jenolan (thin superstructure with a Romulan nacelle in the center) and from Dala's "Delta Flyer" (four chamfered superstructures). Taking these parts from the existing Eaglemoss CG models was either a cost-saving measure, or it was meant as some sort of Easter eggs (without an in-universe significance).
  3. After the cadets had stolen the ship and had ended up on future Solum on the other side of the wormhole, Jankom Pog rebuilt the Infinity to a time machine in "Temporal Mechanics 101", to enable the ship itself to go back in time, adding many tubular structures and other external features.
  4. The Infinity was consumed by the Loom in "The Devourer of All Things II".

Nova Flyer Mark II

General description

Starfleet Academy's Nova Squadron uses these fighter/trainer crafts. They are highly maneuverable and moderately armed. The cockpit section is detachable.

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. We can see a shuttle of this type as soon as in the season 1 finale PRO: "Supernova II". The Nova Flyers then appear in "Into the Breach I", still without revealing they belong to Nova Squadron. They are officially introduced in "Ascension I/II". In the battle against Rev-1, three Nova Flyers are used to distract the drones. They eventually lure Asencia's temporal weapon, the incursor, away from Voyager and bring it on a collision course with Rev-1 using the Boothby Supernova maneuver, in the course of which the cadets save themselves by ejecting the cockpit sections.
  2. Mark I apparently refers to the design of the Academy trainer craft seen in TNG: "The First Duty". Maj'el says that Mark II was redesigned by Lieutenant Paris himself, which is curious because Robert Duncan McNeill played both the disgraced Nova Squadron leader Nick Locarno in the TNG episode as well as Lieutenant Tom Paris. At some point Nick Locarno was meant to appear on VOY, but then the new character of Paris was created. They are definitely two different people, the ultimate proof for which is provided in Lower Decks (although Rutherford thinks they look alike).

Shuttle 06 type

General description

This type of shuttle can be produced with the vehicle replicator on a Protostar-class vessel.

Known shuttles

(Name unknown) 06
(Name unknown) 06
 

Annotations

  1. The first shuttlecraft with the number 06 is built by Gwyn in PRO: "Starstruck", gets damaged in her struggle with Rok-Tahk and remains incomplete. Gwyn uses it in PRO: "Dreamcatcher" to escape from the ship, upon which the shuttle is ultimately destroyed.
  2. When the ship is set to self-destruct in PRO: "Supernova II", the crew orders the vehicle replicator to build a new shuttle to be able to escape (the lifeboats were ejected in "Starstruck"), which has the number 06 again. This shuttle takes the crew to Earth and crashes into San Francisco Bay.

Voyager-A shuttle type

General description

This is a standard shuttle type, assigned to USS Voyager NCC-74656-A.
Article: Starship Size Issues

Known shuttles

Sacagawea
 

Annotations

  1. Two shuttles identified as belonging to Voyager-A can be seen rescuing the passengers of Protostar Shuttle 06 from San Francisco Bay in PRO: "Supernova II". (There is no clue where the large chunks of debris around the fairly intact splashdowned shuttle come from.) The same shuttle type reappears throughout season 2, in which Voyager-A plays a key role.
  2. The shuttle that takes Gwyndala to Solum at the end of "Supernova II" is of the same type, as revealed in "Into the Breach II". We also learn that it is named Sacagawea.
  3. There is an extreme scaling error regarding this shuttle. Despite being shaped similarly as the tiny Type 9, it is almost 30m long and likely has at least two inhabitable decks, as evidenced by the interior and by people standing next to it. Whereas it doesn't have any other windows, at that scale the windshield alone is 10 meters long and 3 meters high! The MSD of Voyager-A, in strong contrast, depicts these very shuttles at a length of roughly 10 meters as if they were Type 9! At the actual scale, a single shuttle would hardly fit into the most spacious aft shuttlebay at all and could never even pass the door.
  4. My size estimation of 20m is a compromise.

Starfleet Ground Vehicles


Runaway

Annotations

  1. The runaway appears in PRO: "Dreamcatcher". Dal takes the vehicle for a ride without asking anyone whether they would join. The runabout is later destroyed when it gets entangled in the "Murder Planet's" plant life.
  2. I assume the runaway came out of the vehicle replicator because why would such a specialized vehicle be stored, whereas standard shuttles need to be built?
  3. The runaway reappears as the Protostar is stranded on Ysida in "Last Flight of the Protostar I".

The Medusan ship appears in Zero's recount of how he was captured by the Kazon in PRO: "Preludes". It is the exact same design that was retroactively included in TOS-R: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?", although it seems odd that the Medusans would use vessels that are over 100 years old.

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. This ship appears in Jankom Pog's recount of how he ended up in captivity in PRO: "Preludes". It is upside down in this episode.
  2. We can also see the design in "Supernova I", as part of the effort to defer the destruction of the Federation fleet by the Living Construct. Here, the design is not verbally identified as Tellarite but the intent is obvious.
  3. The design previously appeared in Star Trek Enterprise as a Tellarite warship, as a rather lazy re-use of the Arkonian warship and the Xindi-Arboreal ship already established in that series. We should ignore the Arkonian and the Xindi connection. The design in "Preludes" may make some sense. It is conceivable that the Tellarites converted some old warships to sleeper ships. Also, we don't know how long Pog's vessel has already been on the long journey. The ship in "Supernova I", on the other hand, is anachronistic, even though we may claim it too is a former warship rebuilt to a freighter.

However, the model used is not of the Surak class (closed captions: "Suurok class") from ENT: "Breaking the Ice", but the Sh'Ran-type combat cruiser from ENT: "Fallen Hero". The two look similar and may have been supposed to be identical at some point, but they differ in their proportions, their details and quite possibly also in their size and are hence separate designs in the EAS database. The mix-up in the Prodigy production is easy to explain because most likely the Eaglemoss CGI was used, with the model having been released as "Surak class".
  3. In PRO: "Supernova I", the design is explicitly referred to as a civilian ship. Yet, it is a stretch that this class, irrespective of whether it is the Sh'Ran type or the Surak class, would still be around after 230 years.
