Class variants

Class	Information
Miranda class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free Miranda class starships have been in service since at least 2285, used well into the 24th Century during conflicts such as the Dominion War. The Miranda-class design included a roll bar equipped with torpedo launchers and phaser banks.
Miranda class Beta	SKIN UNLOCK: Free A refitted Miranda class designed to more closely reflect its CGI appearance on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, including a greyer hull, lit nacelles and redesigned saucer with additional lights. The Miranda Beta pylon option also includes an in-built deflector dish, referencing the original STO model of the Miranda class from the launch of the game.
Centaur class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Centaur class is based on the Excelsior class, known to be active in the 2370s during the Dominion threat. It has a main saucer section with two aft nacelles at the end of its down-swept pylons.
Saratoga class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free Saratoga class variant parts are based on the ill-fated starship Benjamin Sisko served on during the Battle of Wolf 359.
ShiKahr class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The ShiKahr class is similar to the Miranda in appearance, though it sports a bulkier hull design. The class is most likely named after the Vulcan city ShiKahr.
Reliant class	SKIN UNLOCK: Reliant Advanced Light Cruiser, 3,000 The Reliant class modernizes the utilitarian aspects of the Miranda design with a strong focus on mobility and utility, while improving the overall capabilities of this workhorse cruiser to match those of its fellow Tier 6 starships.
Soyuz class	SKIN UNLOCK: Fleet Soyuz Advanced Light Cruiser, 20,000 , 5 The Soyuz class variant parts are based on the ship commanded by Captain Morgan Bateson in the late 23rd century, the U.S.S. Bozeman.
Malachowski class	SKIN UNLOCK: Clarke Multi-Mission Command Cruiser, 3,000 OR Fleet Malachowski Multi-Mission Command Cruiser, 20,000 , 5 The Malachowski class is one of the smaller ship classes of its time. One vessel of this class, the U.S.S. Clarke, participated in the Battle of the Binary Stars. Its saucer section is similar to that of the Miranda-class Light Cruiser. The Malachowski features two angular warp nacelles underneath the main hull.
Clarke class	SKIN UNLOCK: Clarke Multi-Mission Command Cruiser, 3,000 The Clarke Multi-Mission Command Cruiser was purpose-built to serve as the vanguard of reinforcement fleets, bringing with it a wide array of potential life-saving technology in the form of its Command Specialist capabilities. Additionally, despite only being a mid-sized cruiser, this vessel boasts a hangar bay able to house a wing of support vessels of any configuration its captain sees fit to equip.
