The Constellation Class is structurally similar to the Constitution-class with a saucer-shaped primary hull, but excludes the secondary (Engineering) hull. The class was one of the first tests of a 4-Nacelle vessel.
- Constellation Mk. I (2275-2285)
- Constellation Mk. II (2285-2315)
- Constellation Mk. III (2288-2320)
- Constellation Mk. IV (2315-2345)
- Constellation Mk. V (2320-2360)
- Cheyenne-class (Constellation Mk. VI) (2345-2360)
- Stargazer-class (Constellation Mk. VII) (2386-present)
[edit] History
Named in memory of the Constitution-class USS Constellation which was destroyed by Commodore Matthew Decker. The first vessel was commissioned as a prototype to test the 4-Nacelle design. Although it produced no great increase in Warp speeds, the design allowed smaller Nacelles to create the same warp field as the standard dual design.
By the 2360's new production had ceased, and the older vessels had started to be retired. Many still remain in service as transports and research vessels.
The Cheyenne-class was an off-shoot of the Constellation class in the 2340's using the same design, but with newer components. In the 2370's and 80's the multi-Nacelle feature was once again revived on the Prometheus-class, and the design itself made a comeback with in the late 2380's with the Stargazer-class.
