While the interior of the ship remained largely unchanged, the exterior had undergone a number of changes with notable alterations to the hull design; adding a new dome over the bridge and fillin… The USS Enterprise continued to serve in its prom… Oberth (Gagarin (23rd century) • Sagan) • At the very center of the room was the command area – the captain's chair at the center, flanked by chairs for the first officer to the right, and an additional officer (typically the ship's counselor or chief medical officer) to the left. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint"), The navigational deflector dish of a Galaxy-class starship. Although smaller than Galaxy-class starships, this class of vessel is still a very versatile exploration vessel and is considered to be one of the most advanced class of ships in the Federation. They were equipped with a couch, plants, and a viewscreen. The replicators were also able to produce other food and drinks for the crew to enjoy in a relaxed social setting. A Galaxy-class ship was involved in the disastrous first contact with the Dominion. The Galaxy-class is a type of starship built by Starfleet from the mid 24th century into the 25th century. The USS Odyssey had entered the Gamma Quadrant in order to rescue several Federation citizens who had been taken captive by the Jem'Hadar. (Star Trek: The Next Generation). By 2365, they were Science I, Science II, Mission Ops, Environment, and Engineering. 1.1 MISSION OBJECTIVES. (TNG: "Booby Trap", "Parallels"), Upon its launch, the Galaxy-class had become the most technologically sophisticated and complicated ship ever built by the Federation. (TNG: "The Child", "Power Play"), The Galaxy-class carried sixteen holodecks, which were located on Decks 9, 10, and 11. 42[1] Moving clockwise from the main viewscreen, the first door, level with and to the right of the conn, led directly to the battle bridge emergency turbolift. The Enterprise-D made first contact with a multitude of new species, including the Q Continuum and the Borg Collective. There were additional wall-mounted consoles throughout the room. It also bears details reminiscent of the Sovereign class, such as the raised V-shaped platform on the primary hull detail, and a whiter-colored hull with darker markings.It is also tied with the Monarch class … The various ebooks published by Last Unicorn Games after they had lost their Star Trek license listed many other Galaxy class starships: USS Vel'dna (NCC-72406), USS Kludy (NCC-71095), USS Courageous (NCC-72579), USS Indomitable (NCC-73462), USS Hentar (NCC-71093), USS Frontiersman, USS Nevsky (NCC-71038), USS Benton (NCC-69130), USS Ishtar (NCC-70856), USS Pel-Gaash (NCC-71246) and the USS Vanuatu (NCC-68208). (TNG: "Liaisons"). In addition, an Aquarius-class escort ship is docked to the rear of the ship's stardrive (roughly where the secondary shuttle bay would be located on a Sovereign-class), whic… Solanae (Helios • Montgomery • Omega) • The emergency came sooner than anyone could have realized, with the loss of 39 starships to the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 in early 2367, including one of the few Galaxy class ships in service at the time. (NF novel: Stone and Anvil; TOS novel: The Return; TNG novel: Indistinguishable from Magic), Akira (Alita • Armitage • Thunderchild) • Concorde (Geneva battlecruiser • Presidio) • They were comprised of a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. 463.73 meters[1] (TNG: "11001001") Four transporter rooms were located on Deck 6 in the saucer section, (TNG: "The Game") while two more were on Deck 14 in the stardrive section. 7/21/13: Updated to include Odyssey class from STO (Enterprise-F). The forward bulkhead was dominated by the main viewscreen. The Galaxy-class began development in the year 2343 and has the dubious distinction of having the longest design, development and construction period of any class in Starfleet history—delayed for a further year due to attempted sabotage by the Manraloth Giriaenn that was only just exposed by Lieutenant Data—with the prototype USS Galaxy finally launching in 2357 and its first two sister ships the ever-famous Federation flagship USS Enterprise-D and USS Yamato following six years later in 2363. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi", "Ensign Ro"; VOY: "Relativity") They were noted for their impressive abilities among Federation citizens and other Alpha Quadrant races. However, these instances take place in alternate timelines and it is not known if "battleship" is an actual starship type within Starfleet. (TNG: "Man of the People", "Suspicions", "Night Terrors"), The ship's counselor had their own office, located on Deck 9. The computer access panels on the port and starboard walls were replaced; pin-striping was added to the tactical console bulkhead behind the captain's chair; the reclined conn and ops seats were replaced with upright versions; the cushioned end seats were removed from the command area; the "flip-open" captain's chair consoles were replaced with permanently open units; and the direction of the viewscreen beacon was reversed. In an effort to get more ships into service, many of the existing Galaxy-class spaceframes were outfitted with additional weapons and minimal crew accommodations to decrease their construction time, leaving the yards with nearly 65 percent of their internal volume empty. Larry Nemecek likewise wrote that "Rick S[ternbach]'s original length was 1,587 ft, or @ ¾ the length of the Galaxy-class." Range: The shields, when raised, stay extremely close to the hull to conserve energy - average range is seven meters away from the hull, but can be extended to surround a nearby object, though at the loss of shield strength. During the early 2270s, Constitution-class starships underwent a major refit program. (TNG: "Booby Trap"), Galaxy-class ship under construction at Utopia Planitia, Major component construction of Galaxy-class ships was carried out both in orbit and at ground based facilities. Yet, the basic proportions, the recognizable deck structure and many details are evidence of a smaller ship. Steamrunner (Zephyr) • New carpeting and handrails were also added. Andrew Probert made a series of drawings refining the new look for the Enterprise's bridge. The chevron section can be reattached to the stardrive section at any time. The U.S.S. The bridge was also equipped with two food replicators. In all, there were six doors leading from the room. The Galaxy-class also carried antimatter mines and supported a high-capacity deflector shield grid. Note the larger nacelles, the additional hull plating around the deflector array, along with the additional impulse engine mounts on the saucer section. (Star Trek Generations), The observation lounge was located directly aft of the main bridge. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") As of the year 2366, the USS Enterprise-D, a Galaxy-class vessel, was known to have been the fastest ship in Starfleet. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual and the Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints show that the Galaxy-class was equipped with a third aft torpedo launcher in the saucer section that was exposed upon the separation. 4,500,000 metric tons[1] Directly aft of this were the operations officer and conn positions. (TNG: "All Good Things..."), A Galaxy-class starship fires its phasers and photon torpedoes, A Galaxy-class starship's forward torpedo launcher, Aft torpedo launcher on a Galaxy-class vessel, The Galaxy-class was equipped with twelve phaser banks, distributed in phaser arrays at various points along both hulls. (VOY: "Endgame"; Star Trek Nemesis), By 2399, a hologram of a Galaxy-class vessel was occasionally displayed at the ceiling of Starfleet Headquarters. Decks: The maximum evacuation capacity of Galaxy-class ships were 15,000 people. Mar 11, 2017 - That is, 2106 feet 3.6 inches in overall length for the Federation's Galaxy-class large exploratory cruiser, compared to the 4438-foot-11.7-inch-long (that's .84mi) Romulan "D'Deridex" heavy warbird. The maximum sustainable speed was warp 9.2 and the maximum rated speed was 9.8. (TNG: \"Booby Trap\", \"Galaxy's Child\") Some of the Enterprise'… Walker (Georgiou) • Luna (Comet • Polaris • Sol) • [6]. Decatur (Dreadnought) • At 725m length the new Enterprise would be bigger than a Galaxy class! The Galaxy class is the result of an ambitious development program at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. There's also a special version, the "Exploration Cruiser Refit", at that same rank that gives players the ability to use Antimatter Spread, confusing opponents visually. The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E (or Enterprise-E, to distinguish it from prior and later starships with the same name) is a fictional starship in the Star Trek franchise. Though the vessel's exterior appearance was similar if not identical to that of the vessel in the normal timeline, there were interior changes. However, by the time construction of the first vessel was begun in 2341, Starfleet had issued the requirement for the Nebula class Starship. The primary hull contained the bridge on A-deck, officer and crew quarters on D and E-decks, a personnel transporter room on F-deck, and sickbay on G-deck. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), or Enterprise-D, is a starship in the Star Trek media franchise. The captain's yacht is a large auxiliary starship built into the design of several Federation starship designs including the Galaxy-class and Sovereign-class. It has a longer more swept neck, and a more faceted main deflector. Separate, private recovery rooms were also located near sickbay, (TNG: "Ethics") as was a nursery (TNG: "Home Soil", "Data's Day") and a diagnostic center. The Galaxy-class was the first design that was capable of separating and reconnecting at will, allowing a large proportion of the crew to escape hostile situations. The ship's bridge was darkly lit, while Ten Forward featured much brighter lighting. Unlike the main bridge, there was much more focus on combat and tactical systems and no science stations. Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual, https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy_class?oldid=2677440, Junior officers' quarters – These small-unit quarters were located on the interior of the ship and lacked windows. (TNG: "Contagion", "Evolution", "The Bonding") There was a starboard computer core. It was so massive that an explosive decompression of the air within the bay would contain enough force to propel the ship forward. The special features of this class are the modular structure (modules can be exchanged or added), its enormous size and the possibility to separate the vessel into two completely independent ships the saucer module and drive section. Crew complement: (TNG: "Night Terrors", "Imaginary Friend", "Dark Page"), The Galaxy-class starship carried a complement of cetaceans. A person stood on a platform in the center of the room, illuminated only by the light which came from above the platform. Type: (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", "Night Terrors"), Certain Galaxy-class ships, such as the USS Venture, were fitted with additional phaser arrays on the dorsal surfaces of their nacelles. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom") There were four recovery biobeds on the periphery of the room with a main surgical biobed opposite them, covered by a large overhead sensor cluster and capable of hookup to a surgical support frame. STARSHIP CLASS The Next Generation occurs 78 years … (TNG: "Tin Man", "Chain of Command, Part I"; DS9: "Valiant"; VOY: "Infinite Regress") Some Galaxy-class ships were able to house large civilian populations; many assigned personnel even brought their families aboard to live with them. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") There were also fore and aft torpedo launchers on the engineering section. (TNG: "Brothers"), Another version of the Galaxy-class bridge, The USS Yamato's bridge had a very similar configuration to the Enterprise-D bridge. Rather than just have a shinier version of Kirk’s Enterprise from the original series, the creators of Star Trek: The Next Generation decided to make a new class of starship twice the length and eight times the interior space of the original - the Galaxy class. Venture docked at Deep Space 9, with a pair of Excelsior-class ships in the background, Galaxy-class starships saw action in many of the major fleet actions of the war including Operation Return, where ships of the class played a tactical role as leaders for Galaxy-wing squadrons, (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") the First Battle of Chin'toka, (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets") and the Battle of Cardassia. The ship had a standard crew complement of 1,012 persons, with a maximum evacuation capacity of 15,000 persons. A conference table with seating for ten people was the main feature of the room, (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") with LCARS screens on the port and starboard walls for information displays and retrieval. Armaments: It featured 42 decks and was capable of transporting over 6000 troops. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command"), Utopia Planitia design lab, with a Galaxy-class starship under construction outside the window, The Galaxy Class Starship Development Project took place at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. (TNG: "Genesis"), In an alternate timeline, these facilities were also known as Cetacean Ops. Further investigation revealed the malfunctions were the result of an Iconian software transmission and not a design flaw inherent to the ship. The Galaxy class which emerged from the Utopia Planitia shipyard22 had very similar lines to the Nebula class. Enterprise NCC-1701-D was a Galaxy-class starship and the flagship of Starfleet. The modified version from "All Good Things..." is also available for Vice Admiral-level players, and is referred to as a "Federation Dreadnought Cruiser.". (TNG: "Transfigurations"), A morgue facility with storage slots for several bodies was located adjacent to sickbay. (TNG: "The Nth Degree") Each Galaxy-class vessel carried a total of three independent computer cores; two located in the saucer section and one in the engineering section. Located on deck 10, on the USS Enterprise-D this area was named Ten-Forward, whereas on the USS Challenger this area was known as Shuttlebay Four, until it was renamed to Nelson's. In the episode TNG: "Conundrum", the Galaxy-class Enterprise-D was described as a battleship, based on her specifications. The fifth starship to be named Enterprise, she was commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard.. With a total of 42 decks, the Enterprise-D was twice the length and had eight times the interior space of the Constitution-class ships of over a century earlier. It was primarily intended to be a ship of exploration, but is also extremely heavily armed. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor", "Redemption II"), The gymnasium, which was also on Deck 12, contained a variety of recreational equipment for a variety of sports. The shields can protect against approximately 23% of the total EM spectrum (similar to a Galaxy Class Starship's shields). It featured large, aft-facing windows that offered a spectacular view of the back of the starship and space beyond. In alternative futures seen in VOY: "Endgame" and ENT: "Azati Prime" the Nova-class is seen in long-term deep space assignment and battle ship roles as well. Saber (Gladius • Rapier • Ushaan) • These formed part of the bulkhead protecting the main part of engineering from the warp core. In stark contrast, Commodore Santin was a vocal critic of the new design, fearing that fielding a ship with such destructive capabilities might serve as a provocation to the Federation's enemies. (TNG: "I Borg"), The arboretum was capable of studying and supporting a wide variety of plant life, and also doubled as a social area. Length: (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual), Initially conceived as a class of twelve ships, once the design was finalized it was decided that only six ships would be completed, with construction on the other six halted once their frameworks were finished. This weapon was successfully tested against a Borg cube in 2367, and possessed enough firepower that the Borg cube would likely have been destroyed in a single shot had it not been for the fact that, with the assimilation of Jean Luc Picard, the Borg had managed to preemptively adapt to the frequency of the energy. warp 6[3] Speed: Service period The main bridge of the Galaxy-class was located on Deck 1 of the saucer section. In 2370, the USS Odyssey became the first casualty of Dominion aggression when it was rammed by a Jem'Hadar fighter, destroying the ship. The deuterium tanks were above the core, while antimatter storage pods surrounded the base of the core on Deck 42. Note: The starship on the top is the original NX-2000 class Excelsior hull.On the right is the Excelsior Refit style hull. (TNG: "The Naked Now") Computer systems were concentrated in a computer core, which was accessible through a maintenance room. She carried a combined crew and passenger load of 1,012. The room was usually used as a conference room for the vessel's senior staff. (TNG: "The Last Outpost") Warp speeds above 9.3 were beyond the red line. Defences: (DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual), Galaxy-class starships continued being produced into the 25th century, continuously being upgraded with more advanced technology. The U.S.S. The captain had a large desk area and work terminal. In early ships, only the impulse engine in the stardrive section was usually active. The Galaxy-class medical department was charged with providing health care to the ship's company and all attached personnel. The door at the rear left of the room opened onto a standard turbolift. The Galaxy class was designed to be both a successor and replacement to the older Oberth and Ambassador classes.
