Construction began on the Constitution-class Starship Defiant at Tranquility Base, Luna,[7] in the 2250s. During the early years of her service, the Defiant conducted many missions of importance for Starfleet, and constantly patrolled the Klingon Neutral Zone as tensions between the two powers continued to rise. During that time, the Defiant became the sixth Federation starship to encounter the N’shaii, and was easily able to dispatch them.[3]

The Daedalus class came into service in the 22nd century.[3] They were one of the first types of starships commissioned and operated under the auspices of the United Federation of Planets and were also among the first to demonstrate the primary/secondary hull design that would become characteristic of Starfleet vessels.[6] Unlike most starships, the Daedalus had a spherical main hull.[4] The last ships of this class were taken out of service by the year 2196.[3]

The S.S. Conestoga journeyed from Earth to the Terra Nova colony in 2069. The trip took nine years, and the Conestoga, commanded by Captain Mitchell, was disassembled for raw materials used to construct the structures of the new colony after arrival.

Botany Bay

Botany Bay (TOS-24)
Botany Bay (TOS-24)

Nuclear-powered vessel of the DY-100 class. Named after an infamous Australian penal colony, the Botany Bay was launched in 1996 with refugees from the Eugenics Wars, namely Khan Noonien Singh and his band of genetically-bred “supermen.” The launch was kept secret in order to not alarm a war-weary population that the tyrant who controlled more than one-fourth of the planet from 1992-96 was still alive. After being defeated in Earth’s Eugenics Wars, Khan and his followers hoped to find another world to conquer and rule.[1]

The Botany Bay drifted in space for over two centuries with its passengers in suspended animation, until the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 discovered the sleeper ship near the Mutara sector in 2266. The ship’s automatic systems attempted to revive Khan first, since he was the leader of the group, but malfunctioned in the process, forcing the Enterprise crew to intervene and save him. Captain Kirk intended to keep the other passengers in stasis until the Enterprise reached Starbase 12 with the Botany Bay in tow, but Khan defied security and transported back to the sleeper ship to revive his crewmates and begin an insurgency. Of the 84 passengers, 72 survived, 30 of them women. The Botany Bay was discarded in deep space when Khan attempted to commandeer the Enterprise,[1] but a variety of belongings were retained, including a collection of classic books and a seatbelt, which found their way to Ceti Alpha V, where Khan and his people were exiled.[2]

The Constitution class cruisers are among the most renowned vessels of their time. Serving as both a research vessel and a cruiser, these ships performed their duties to perfection for the majority of the 23rd century. The Constitution class ships were an integral part of the buildup during “The Great Awakening,” from the outset the most versatile of all ships built for the expansion efforts. class starships included the acclaimed U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[1] During the time of Captain James T. Kirk’s celebrated first five-year mission of exploration, only twelve of these ships were in existence.[2] Constitution class starships used duotronic computers, based on designs developed by Dr. Richard Daystrom in 2243.[8]
