Ships of the Federation
Sovereign Class
The Sovereign class is the longest known ship type of the fleet. In spite of this, its internal volume is less than that of the Galaxy or of the Ambassador class. In 2373, the Sovereign-class Enterprise-E is said to be the most advanced ship 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.
Galaxy Class
The Galaxy class is the result of an ambitious development program at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. It is the largest and second most complex Starfleet starship built to date. The Galaxy class is primarily designed to replace the aged Ambassador and Oberth classes in research missions. Galaxy-class starships feature a detachable and independently operational saucer section, three shuttlebays and a captain's yacht at the bottom of the saucer.
Promethius Class
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.
Aurora Class
The Third largest ship in the Federation inventory, the Aurora-class battlecruiser repsents the fullest application of modern military technology to the construction of a warship. Few vessels of this class exists. Those in service act as area command ships or are the center of fast-responce task forces capable of deploying anywhere in Federation space in responce to the potential of hostilities.They also employ fighters acting as a carrier for that forward force if needed.
