The ''Yasuragi''-class cruiser is an exploration-oriented cousin to the ''Fearless''-class warship. She is less heavily armored than her cousin, but shares much of her spaceframe and her gravitic sublight drive system. She combined this with state-of-the-art sensor systems and research facilities unequaled by any heavy cruiser in the inventory. Her size continues the current trend to smaller, more efficient ships. As such, she is only about 80 percent the mass of the half-century old ''Galaxy''-class cruiser and even smaller than most of the starships derived from that venerable design. ''USS Akira'' is the first ship of the class to enter actual fleet service. | The ''Yasuragi''-class cruiser is an exploration-oriented cousin to the ''Fearless''-class warship.
