The Constitution-class Cruiser is a Tier 2 (Level 10) Cruiser which may be flown by Starfleet characters, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.

Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 2,500 .  

This ship can also be obtained by Federation players for free upon reaching level 10 by using their free Starship Requisition token.

Overview

This vessel is the first Cruiser possible through normal player progression, and introduces Cruiser-style gameplay strategies to new Starfleet players.

Class variants

Class	Information
Constitution class refit Beta Gamma	SKIN UNLOCK: Free In the late 2260s to early 2270s, the Constitution class underwent its final major refit program. Essential upgrades were made to the Constitution-class' critical systems, some of which would be reflected on in Starfleet designs in the 25th century. Players may also select the "Constitution Refit Beta" nacelles, which are permanently lit. or the "Constitution Refit Gamma" nacelles, which include permanently lit bussard collectors.
Excalibur class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Excalibur-class Light Survey Cruiser (CLS) launched in 2382 as a bit of a compromise: some in the Admiralty would have preferred replenishing the losses from the Dominion War with new Sovereigns, but their capability and complexity was delaying timely delivery of more units. The Starfleet Spacecraft Design Advisory Commission proposed target requirements for a new Light Cruiser that incorporated some modern elements of the Sovereign-class, but at a lower tonnage and with some reduced crew capacity and capability. In truth, Starfleet's force depletion from the Dominion War was more serious than most UFP politicians cared to admit, and Starfleet needed to field smaller units faster as a reaction the smaller pool of trained officers and spacers on its rosters. The Excalibur proved to be in the best tradition of Starfleet's multi-role mission platform. Throughout the latter decades of the 24th Century Excalibur-class starships conducted frontier surveys, anti-piracy patrols, and dozens of other duties across the UFP. Perhaps due to the classic Constitution-class heritage of the Excalibur's general hull arrangement, the ship even featured in Starfleet recruiting ads and marketing materials for interactive holonovel dramatizations of Starfleet service.
Vesper class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free Smaller than the Excelsior-class Heavy Cruiser, the Vesper-class was an attempt to coalesce all the capability of the Excelsior into a smaller spaceframe with lower crew requirements. The Vesper saw concurrent development with the Ambassador-class Support Cruiser project. The Vesper utilized new "strip" style phaser emitter arrays and a diburnium hull coating, but to simplify its construction its warp nacelles used the same coils as block 2 Excelsior-class starships. While not cutting edge, they were reliable and had been widely manufactured. To some degree, the Vesper suffered from its association with its larger cousin. The original prototype Ambassador proved too ambitious for its time and underwent drastic re-designs that abandoned many of its original revolutionary features. With its proven warp engines, the Vespers were generally reliable. Still, the scandal around the Ambassador project cast doubt on associated technological initiatives, and the massive boom of UFP expansion during the peaceful post-Khitomer period required quantity over quality. Starfleet scrapped plans to refresh its cruiser force with dozens of Vespers, instead opting to invest in its collection of Miranda and Excelsior-class starships. Several Vespers did manage to enjoy a long service life, and their crews took pride in their esoteric "Vespies."
Exeter class	SKIN UNLOCK: Exeter Cruiser Refit, 37,500 OR Legendary Constitution Miracle Worker Light Cruiser, 30,000 The Exeter class is a 2409 variant on the famed Constitution class. The Exeter honors the 400 crew members of the U.S.S. Exeter who were killed by a biological agent in 2268. The Exeter class has the white hull texture common to refit Federation vessels.
