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.
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.
The most beautiful Starfleet vessel ever. Let history never forget the name "Enterprise"
I love the Enterprise-D so much I paid through the nose to get an Eaglemoss model of it for my work desk. I'm new to that whole side of collectibles and good lord, you can drop some serious coin on those.
Almost surely what they wanted the Ambassador class to be. Also what they wanted the NX-01 to be in the beginning before they noticed how much more guns they needed.
