The Galaxy Class starships were designed to be a multi-role vessel capable of carrying out scientific research, colony transport, diplomatic missions, long range exploration and defence roles.
The first Federation Starship to be fitted with a class five warp drive capable of sustained speeds of warp 9.2 with a maximum velocity of warp 9.6 for short periods.
The Galaxy Class project was intended to replace the Ambassador and Oberth class vessels and have an in-service life of 100 years.
A total of 10 Galaxy Class ships were constructed at Utopia Planitia shipyards with the third of its class christened the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D and would serve as Federation Flagship for the seven years it was in service.
The Galaxy Class played a pivotal role during the Dominion War of 2373 - 2375 especially during two Battles of Chintaka and during the final assault into the Cardassian System.
Despite having a 100 year service life very few examples survived into the 2400’s with the restored Enterprise D currently on display in the fleet museum at Athan Prime along with two previous Enterprise starships.
When I was a young
I used to be annoyed that the Enterprise-D's interior looked like a luxury hotel and had schools and children running around.
I feel like my griping about that caused a monkey's paw to curl and gave us decades of tacticool P R E S T I G E T V bullshit in its place that is only now gradually starting to clear up with Strange New Worlds.![sicko-wistful sicko-wistful](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/397348a3-d5bd-4b5b-94d6-2048118e5238.png)
your embedded images are too big and make your post look bad
yeah it's an issue with the Hexbear embed images I've seen in a lot of federated instances. I'm hoping one day it's resolved.
I assumed it was just Sync being weird. I guess not.
