Miranda Class

The Miranda class starships were designed and built as a follow-up class to the Constitution Class starships, and introduced in the late 23rd century to supplement the capabilities of the Constitutions. Many components of the Mirandas are pulled from the Constitution class: the saucer and the warp nacelles, most obviously. These ships, being smaller and slightly less capable than the Constitution class, were procured as a less expensive production line to project Federation presence and power into more areas than could be accomplished with the existing Constitution fleet. The result of this design philosophy was a relatively formidable warship, which could be produced more quickly and less expensively than the Constitution class. The Miranda class starships have undergo many refit and modifications. Today there are 4 types of Miranda class vessels.
