Take a ''Galaxy''-class starship. Remove the civilians. Gut its science labs, trim it down for war, armor it, and arm it to the teeth. You will have a ''Caesar''. The warp system on these ships is inefficient in light of the 500-series drives of the last few years, but was the only way to make the ship fast enough to combat the Borg at the time they entered service. While a bit heavier than the ''Galaxy'', they still hold a mass and maneuverability edge over even the ultra-modern ''Circe'' class. There is no room to retrofit point defense systems into the spaceframe. As such, the ultimate service life of the class is limited and the class is '''no longer in production'''. Most positions held by this class will be covered by other ships, particularly the newer ''Wasp''-class Battlecruisers. | Take a ''Galaxy''-class starship. Remove the civilians.
