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.
