The Ship Classes

The Ship Classes;These are the Classes of ships, what they are ,and primarily used for.Now here is my view on things, sure there will be some fimilar classes of ships with in this page, but there will be my own versions ,and designs of starfleet star ships (or at least what could be used in star trek:

StarFleet Classes of Ships:

Constitution:These are usually the Flag ships ,of any task force, but not always.This are one of the large of the classes.These are most famous for being the well known Enterprise the Flag ship of the Federation fleet.This are a combination of Exploration,Science,and can be used as a ship of war, if nessecity demands it.Sometimes the play host to diplomatic delegations.

Independence:These are primarily ships build for explorations, long term exploration.They are one of the very few classes, that have enough cargo space, to hold enough supplies, to explore for 2 to 3 years, instead of 1 year like most, before resupply.These are medium class ships in mass .They can hold their own in a fight, but i would not consider them a warship,they have standard type V phaser array,standard Type V shielding,no fighters, 3 shuttles,and 4 escape shuttle pods.Although they can hold warp 9.8 for 10 hours, instead of other ships 8 hours, before auto shut down of warp core.

Apollo:These are primarily build for exploration,and science.These are a smaller ship then the constitution or the Independence classes.They usually hold about 50 to 70 less crew members then the two classes mentions here.They have standard type V phasers,They have Standard Type V shielding.They have enough Cargo space, to hold enough goods,and such to explore for 1 year,before resupply.They have 2 hangers (or shuttle bay):each hanger holds 6 fighters, 8 shuttles(of various classes),2 escape/evacuation type personnel shuttles type 14:these will hold 120 personnel per shuttle.These have the most sophisticated in all scientific sensors,and equiptment.

Hermes:These are mainly built for diplomatic,and scout missions.These are used to host the Negotiators whom ,bring in new planets into the federation.They also scout,and gather information, on planets cultures, resources, peoples, etc.

Isis:These ships are a Medical Class type ship.They have heavy shielding Type X,but since they have taken the oath to do no harm, to any living being.they have only type 2 phaser Array,thesePhasers will not damage, or cripple any vessel, probably not even a shuttle by the standards now with in the Federation,but they will warn off most would be attackers.Under the McCoy Treaty of 2299,most federation,and no alighned worlds, have signed a treaty, that allow most medical ships to go anywhere in space, without any threat of harm.Most sectors of space still send a Warship or two to protect the medical ships, from pirates, and such.This was the doing of one Man ,Leonard H McCoy, who served Starfleet as a doctor for over 100 years,due to the fact that he got cured from a disease,that was then killing him, this elongated his life.The Good Doctor past away about 5 years ago, he is gone, but not forgotten.He has done so much in the ways of medical, scientific, and Medical rules,and regulations, to be remembered,and immortalised for all time.

Ares:these are usually heavy cruisers.These are used combat primarily,the patrol federation space,and protect it from any would be invaders.These are one of the most heavily armed classes, with in StarFleet.These are about the mass of a Constitution Class Cruiser.

Mars:This is your medium assult cruiser class.These are Warships as well, about the mass of an independence class,but built, and armed for war. they usually patrol around federation planets, keeping them from any hostile threat that ,might rear its ugly head.

Jupiter:These are one of the fleet classes ships ,that are used for primarily resupply,and refit of the other star ships.these are primarily the Cargo ships of the federation, they do have shields, and weapondry, for defense only.They are the support class ships, for the Fleets.

Saturn:This class is Primarily a Space Carrier,This is build maily to carry fighters, this has minimal ships weapondry,and Major Ships Shielding, Type X Shields.

Constellation:These are your Primary science ships, they usually are filled with science teams, they are used for terraforming planets, bioengineering research, astro navagation, stellar cartograpy,mineralogical studies.and so on.

Athena:These are small fast attack starships, they are heavily armed, but are primarily used for hit and run type warfare.These are the hit them when they arent looking, and get out type ships.These are built to confuse, and harrass the enemy fleets.

Deforest:First of all I just thought that this class should be added, this class is named after deforest kelly, who gave 33 years of his life, to the building and development of star trek.He was doc McCoy, the way a ships doctor should be played.This is the primary Medical Ship Class of The Fleets.I created this class with 2 thoughts in mind, One never forget Doc McCoy, or the man who played him,and Remember one of those few men that everyone loves ,respects.The first of all Ships Doctors,and a Member of the First ships Crew.(Deforest we all miss you man, may you rest in peace Deforest Kelly 1920-1999).Notes:I met him one time a very long time ago, as some star trek event,and the impression i got, was this. McCoy ,and Kelly were one ,and the same, full of life, will help you if he can, and never back down from a fight.Just saddens me, that last battle was one the man ,just couldnt win.

Uranus:This class is primarily A Space Carrier much like the Saturn class.This usually holds bombers, instead of fighters though.This Class has Type X shields,and 2 Type 7 phaser Arrays.

Gallaleo:This ship is used primarily for astrological study, and stellar cartography.

Galaxy:These are primarily the same ,as the constitution class, they are just a tad smaller, this ship, is used for most all fields.

Ra:This class is primarily used for Archeological studies, historical studies, and the study of ancient cultures.

Osiris:These ships are used for covert operations, they are one of the only classes of ships ,that employ a cloaking device. This class ship, offically does not exsist, as far as the non federation planets are concerned.These are built for star system Intrusion,and information gathering. This is the primary class for Star Fleet Intelligence.

Hammurabi:This is primarily a class of JAG ships.They are law vessels.These are were the trials are held, each ship usually has a court ,with judges upon it.They are keepers of the Prime Directive,and the Federation Uniform code of Military Justice.

Babylonian:This is the second class used, for the purpose of upholding, and maintaining the Prime Directive,and the Federation code of law.These are a JAG class ship.There are to be no Non JAG class ship handling legal events.The captain or Admiral who is not offically part of the JAG corp,can not hold any trial what so ever.He can how ever be choosen ,by the accused as defense counsel.

Sumerian:This class is primarily a class of engineering,They carry supplies,and engineers, to build starbases,and structures,bases, etc. On Federation held planets.They are the Structural Engineer corp, of StarFleet.

Mercury:This Class is primarily used for Cybernetic ,and Robotics Research.To learn new techques to build better well, simply put it, to try to figure out ,how to build more datas, without having to use data to do it.

Venus:This Class is primarily used for the development, and exploration, into the field of Defense systems research.This class was brought about, when the Borg Attacked the federation.Giving the Federation, the clue, that they might not be the Biggest dog on the block.

Sarek:This is a Class Primarily used, for ambassadorial, and dimplomatic missions,these are the ships build, for peaceful negotiations, to choose the most logical approach to bringing new members into the federation.Most of these ships are crewed by Vulcans.

Utopian:These are primarily used for Terraforming planets, to make inhospitable worlds, livable, and productive planets, to build new settlesments, with in the universe, to expand on neew sources for resouces ,badly needed for the federation.

Gladiator:These are the class, that is used, to enter a planets atmosphere,for low planetary assults.these are know has planet killers, these are only used, when all else fails.The federation is not tyrants, but they will use this to destory weapons facilities,and ship yards, to prevent ,any extremely warlike peoples, to do Harm to any federation world.This are used, to try to put an end, to hostile planets ability for war.They are forbidden, to assult any civilian settlement.

Reagan:This Class was named after Ronald Reagan ,whom just recently passed away,This class is used for negotiations,and treaties.This class also can ,and will be used for a warship, if need be.This class was developed to honor one of the best Presidents the United State of America,has had, in the past 20 years,as well as a good ,honest, and decent man.(Ronald Reagan Born:1911,Died:2004:The world will miss you .)

LoveCraft:This is an Infiltrator Class ship,For Shadow ,and Covert Operations.These ships do not official Exsist,even to most federation worlds.These are used for Federation Security, from any hostile treat within, or without The Federation.When theses Ships are brought into a situation, One way or the Other, what they want to know from any individual, they will find it out.They are not restricted as much by the laws, as all others are.They are freer to bend the laws,and twist them, for purposes of Federation security.They will never break the law.Interogation,and Assassinations, are not above them, if the interest and the welfare of the federation ,as a whole is at stake.They are what most captains,and crew of the other class type ships, Refer to as The hounds of Hell.

Einsteinian:This is primarily a class for scientific research, in the areas of Physics, Quantum mechanics, etc.
