Vesta class

The Federation Vesta-class starship is a set of starship classes in service from 2380 onwards. They are Starfleet's set of Multi-Mission Explorers.

Since 2380 these ships have more than proven themselves in combat and exploration alike. One notable vessel is the USS Aventine which served as a test bed for future ship advancements such as the Quantum Slipstream Drive.

See the template to the right for a list of playable starships and NPC mobs in Star Trek Online based on the Vesta. Most ships parts from the design variants are interchangeable where the relevant ship has been bought.
