The Achernar class was the second upgrade of the Constitution-class. It was a short-lived production run due to further advances in technology.:

• Constitution-class
• Bonhomme Richard-class (Constitution Mk. I)
• Achernar-class (Constitution Mk. II)
• Enterprise-class (Constitution Mk. III)
• Constitution II-class (Constitution Mk. IV)
• Endeavor-class (Constitution Mk. V)
• Enterprise II-class (Constitution Mk. VI)

Structurally almost identical to the Constitution, the design features a large saucer-shaped primary hull attached by a thin neck to a cylindrical secondary hull (also called the 'engineering hull'), the Warp Nacelles extend upward from the secondary hull. The primary upgrade was to power cores and tactical ability.

[edit] History

The class was designed to fulfill numerous roles ranging from border patrol to science and exploration. Top of the line tactical ability was included as well as strong medical and science departments. The overall design proved to be very durable, and the same basic design can still be found during the 24th century in the Ambassador-class, and Galaxy-class vessels.

Various Constitution Class vessels were almost certainly involved in skirmishes with the Klingons during the early-mid 2200's. The fact that the class continued for so long is testament to it's success in the majority of those conflicts.
