Master systems displayLets see what this Galaxy class starship can doThe Galaxy class was a Starfleetvessel first introduced in the late 2. It was one of the largest and most powerful Federation starship classes of its time, with many serving in the Dominion War. Starfleet had previously operated another type of Galaxy class starship in the 2. TNG The Ensigns of Command.

Major component construction of Galaxy class ships was carried out both in orbit and at ground based facilities. Upon its launch, the Galaxy class had become the most technologically sophisticated and complicated ship ever built by the Federation. TNG Encounter at Farpoint, Lonely Among Us, Contagion. Commander. William T. Rikers console on the bridge had some information on the dimensions of the USS Enterprise. This information might be true for her sister ships. The Enterprise had an overall length of 6. The gross vehicle mass of this ship was 5,0. The ship had a standard crew complement of 1,0. The environmental standard on the ship was M class. The maximum sustainable speed was warp 8. TNG New Ground okudagram. Early years Edit. A starboard view. Service aboard a Galaxy class starship was considered an extremely prestigious assignment and they attracted some of Starfleets finest officers. TNG Mnage Troi, Ensign Ro VOY Relativity They were noted for their impressive abilities among Federation citizens and other Alpha Quadrant races. TNG Tin Man, Chain of Command, Part I DS9 Valiant VOY Infinite Regress Some Galaxy class ships were able to house large civilian populations many assigned personnel even brought their families aboard to live with them. In 2. 36. 5, the safety of the Galaxy class, in particular its warp propulsion system, came into question when the USS Yamato was lost in a mysterious accident near the Romulan Neutral Zone claiming the lives of all personnel and their families. The ship had experienced massive system wide failures which eventually led to a loss of antimatter containment. Further investigation by the Enterprise D revealed the malfunctions were the result of an Iconian software transmission and not a design flaw inherent to the ship. TNG Contagion. Undoubtedly the most prominent early Galaxy class starship was the USS Enterprise D, which, apart from two brief periods under the commands of William T. Riker and Edward Jellico, was commanded for its entire seven years of service by Captain. Jean Luc Picard. The Enterprise D made first contact with a multitude of new species, including the Q Continuum, and the Borg Collective. Its diplomatic efforts helped cool tensions between smaller, regional powers and prevent dramatic upheavals to the security of the Federation during the Klingon Civil War, and frequently checked Romulan and Cardassian operations in tense situations. It fought off some of the Federations toughest foes, most notably preventing the assimilation of Earth during the Borg invasion of 2. Star Trek The Next Generation. Dominion War Edit. The USS Odyssey critically damaged. A Galaxy class ship was involved in the disastrous first contact with the Dominion. The USS Odyssey had entered the Gamma Quadrant in order to rescue several Federation citizens who had been taken captive by the JemHadar. While the Odyssey was retreating, a JemHadar attack ship made a suicide run at its stardrive section, causing a massive hull breach and resulting in the complete destruction of the ship. DS9 The JemHadar This act led to three years of hostilities between the Federation and the Dominion, culminating in the outbreak of the Dominion War. Venture docked at Deep Space 9, with a pair of Excelsior class ships in the background. Galaxy class starships saw action in many of the major fleet actions of the war including Operation Return, where ships of the class played a tactical role as leaders for Galaxy wing squadrons, DS9 Sacrifice of Angels the First Battle of Chintoka, DS9 Tears of the Prophets and the Battle of Cardassia. DS9 What You Leave Behind. Analysis of the battle from Sacrifice of Angels showed no less than ten Galaxy class vessels in the combined Federation fleet during Operation Return. This would indicate that there were more than the initial six Galaxy class starships referenced in the Star Trek The Next Generation Technical Manual. The total of six ships stemmed from Roddenberrys assumption that Starfleet would not have constructed vessels of that large a size in substantial numbers. The Manual however also stated that an additional six space frames were constructed and laid up to be completed at a moment when circumstances so dictated. It can be conjectured that those circumstances arose after the first Borg incursion and that by the time the Dominion War began, all the remaining original Galaxies were operational. It could be theorized that a Galaxy wing would be much like modern battle groups with lighter frigatesships screening the main capital ships which would make sense due to the size and firepower of a Galaxy class starship. The USS Galaxy takes on an orbital weapon platform in the First Battle of Chintoka. The Venture destroys a deactivated orbital weapon platform 2. Later status Edit. Several more starships entered the fleet inventory during the 2. Several Galaxy class ships were shown under construction at Utopia Planitia. TNG Parallels VOY Relativity By the latter half of the decade, Galaxy class ships were seen all around Federation space, from stations near Earth where a number of Galaxy class ships were part of the fleet assembled to intercept a Borg sphere in 2. Romulan Neutral Zone. VOY Endgame Star Trek Nemesis. In an alternate future, refitted Galaxy class ships remained in service long after 2. TNG All Good Things. Technical data Edit Physical arrangement Edit. Amanda Rogers and Q standing on the hull. Nebula and Galaxy class starships. Saucer separation in progress. The Galaxy class shared similar design characteristics with the smaller Nebula class. Andrew Probert had originally wanted to make the Galaxy class exactly 2,0. Gene Roddenberry asked him to lengthen the nacelles in order to match the traditional Enterprise proportions more closely. X The vast majority of informed sources state that the Galaxy class is 2,1. Ed Whitefires unpublished blueprints which were created with the help of the Star Trek art department. The design included two hull sections a saucer shaped primary hull, and a detachable secondary hull which housed the ships primary engines. Visions of Interstellar Starship Travel. Credit Adrian Mann VARIES Vacuum to Antimatter Rocket Interstellar Explorer System, is a concept from Richard Obousy that would use enormous solar arrays to generate power for extremely powerful lasers, which, when fired at empty space, would create particles of antimatter which could be stored and used as fuel. The process would be used at the vehicles destination to create fuel for the return journey.
