===''Kirov''-class Explorer===
===''Kirov''-class Explorer===
The ''Kirov'' is a multi-mission cruiser which was originally designed as a replacement for the Galaxy-class spaceframe.  It mounts the advanced AUGUR sensor suite as well as a modern point defense laser system.  Because of the smaller hull, the ''Kirov'' is more handy in sub-light maneuvers than the larger ''Galaxy''-based ships. With a more efficient and modern power plant, the ''Kirov'' also boasts higher warp cruising speeds than all of the Galaxy-derived designs save the ''Solar''-class command battlecruiser.

''Coventry'', the newest destroyer design in Star Fleet, is the representation of a new push by the Federation to work under the premise of "smaller can be more".

===''Tesla''-class Surveyor===
After having proven the capabilities of the USS TESLA II modifications to the ''Feynman''-class satisfactorily and well beyond expectations, a clean-from-slate design was extracted, that could still pull the compact, classical lines of its predecessors. The ''Tesla''-class ships are faster than never, due to the new Warp nacelles profiles, both in normal and sensor modes. The new gravitic plane drives allow for faster sublight maneuvers and much higher accelerations, aided by the newer inertial dampeners. Improvements in the sensor suite, computer cores and SESR modules mean this is one of the best surveyor ships ever.

===''Diligent''-class Warship===
The next-generation escort vessel, the ''Diligent'' has more range and sustained endurance in a fight than the ''Defiant'' or ''Thunderbolt''. While not as hard-hitting as her predecessors in a concentrated forward attack, ''Diligent'' has the ability to sustain a higher sustained rate of energy transfer to her weapons systems and to engage more simultaneous targets than either. This means that her combat effectiveness is higher. The addition of limited point defense capability and enhanced electronic warfare systems also make her much more effective in preventing damage to ships that she is escorting.

===''Asgard''-class Warship===
==Frigate, FF==
Originally known as ''Valhalla''-class, the ''Asgard'' class represents a compromise design.  While bearing undeniable similarity to the ''Thunderbolt''-class destroyers, the designers of the ''Asgard''-class frigates opted for a more balanced approach.  Rather than dedicating shipboard systems to offense to the exclusion of all else, the ship design balances offensive punch, range, and scientific research abilities.  The tactical sensors on the ship are first rate and as capable of those aboard a ''Thunderbolt'', but concessions in other areas mean that the class does not mount as much offensive firepower as her destroyer-rated cousin.

The ''Sentinel''-class frigate represents the one of the largest frigates ever built by Star Fleet. The vessels in the class are armed with the latest in technology, the class sets out to prove that small ships and small crews can match some of the larger spaceframes already at work in the field.
