Star Fleet Engineering
Bureau of Ships
The Unites Federation of Planets Star Fleet Engineering Bureau of Ships is responsible for the design, construction, maintenance, and retirement of all Star Fleet Naval starships and starcraft in the inventory of the United Federation of Planets.
These documents give general overviews of the major equipment on the ships. For specifics about how different subsystems operate, see the Technical Memorana.
Starship Designs
The United Federation of Planets uses a larger number of different starship designs or various sizes and capacities. The following classifications are used by the Star Fleet Navy and, generally, applied by Star Fleet personnel to other starships encountered regardless of the specific designations given by foreign powers for ease of common reference.
Heavy Cruisers (Cruiser, Armored- CA)
Heavy cruisers are the backbone of 23rd century Starfleet, as they are extremely versatile: while they excel as explorers with their generous laboratory and medical suite space, their armament and speed make them ideal for offensive or defensive operations.
Constitution-class Explorer
The Constitution-class heavy cruiser was the most advanced warship of its day. Though her official job description may be "explorer," everything about this design screams "warship": larger, more advanced phaser systems more numerous in number; deadlier photon torpedoes, and the incorporation of the first real point defense system in Starfleet.
