Avenger Battlecruiser

Overview
The Avenger is a Federation Battlecruiser, the first of its kind. As the name suggests, the Avenger shares many characteristics with Klingon Battlecruisers, having been designed for war and not exploration. Despite adhering to Starfleet's traditional cruiser design pattern of a large saucer connected to an engineering hull, with two outboard warp nacelles, the combat focus of the Avenger is expressed in nearly every aspect.

The Avenger-class Battlecruiser's design aims to provide a durable warship that is more maneuverable than Starfleet's existing cruisers, and can carry a devastating amount of firepower. However, it does sacrifice a measure of hull strength for this extra maneuverability. There is nothing subtle about this starship class. The Avenger ' s aggressive silhouette and available firepower make it a formidable and intimidating presence in any battle.

The Avenger's size is much closer to a Klingon Battlecruiser than a standard Starfleet Cruiser. This is largely due to the fact that the starship was designed by the Starfleet Engineering Corps to compete with the smaller, more agile vessels Starfleet is facing in battle. The Avenger class is also the first cruiser in Starfleet to be equipped with an Advanced Cruiser Communications Array.
