Release date: November 17, 2010
The NX-class Light Escort is a Tier 1 (Level 1) Escort 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 15,000 under the name NX Class Starship Replica. This ship can be purchased individually, or as part of the Enterprise Era Pack for 1,315 . It is also available as part of the following: console-only Federation Pack for 4,000 , console-only All Faction Mega Bundle for 8,000 . This ship was previously available on its own from the Zen Store; players that purchased it from there can still reclaim it from there on all their characters.
Overview[]
After Starfleet starships were converted to a modular design, a group from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers working at Utopia Planitia wondered if vessels from the Federation's past could be constructed in this manner. Working with Federation historian Geoffrey Pacelli, the SCE officers chose the famed NX Class for reconstruction. The NX Class Starship Replica sports the classic look of Earth's starships from the 22nd century, but has been updated with modern technology to meet current Starfleet specifications for Lieutenant-rank missions. It carries a crew of 85.
In a nod to the technology of the 22nd Century the SCE has added a [Console - Universal - Grappler], which functions similarly to a tractor beam - albeit with a slightly shorter hold time and without inflicting kinetic damage.

SKIN UNLOCK: Any NX variant First launched in 2151, the NX class was humanity's first warp 5-capable vessel. Its first and most famous ship, the Enterprise NX-01, was instrumental in defending Earth from a Xindi invasion, cementing early relations with other races, encountering new races and civilizations, and played a key part in the founding of the United Federation of Planets. The individual parts of this preset are named "Utopia" in Ship Customization. | |||
SKIN UNLOCK: NX Escort Refit, 900 The 23rd century refit of the 22nd century's legendary NX class, this escort vessel is both tough and nimble in battle. A conjectural refit of the NX class, this configuration might have been used had the show continued to a fifth season. Designed by Doug Drexler, this design was intended to be a stepping stone between the NX and Constitution classes. The individual parts of this preset are named "Utopia Refit" in Ship Customization. | |||
SKIN UNLOCK: Legendary Columbia Temporal Operative Escort, 30,000 The Columbia class is a re-interpretation of the NX-class light escort as it might appear in the 2280s, around the time of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. It is meant to be a contemporary of the Miranda, Oberth, and Excelsior-class ships. |

Notes[]
- The ship tends to vibrate when traveling at warp speeds faster than warp 5. (The effect is noticeable when zooming out - it becomes very noticeable when reaching warp speeds faster than Warp 10.) Whether this is intentional or a bug is not known.
- With the release of the Legacy of Romulus expansion, the "U.S.S." prefix can be removed from the ship.
- In the Foundry's ship costume editor, the Tier 1 NX-class Light Escort's modular parts, which can now be interchanged with those of the Tier 6 NX-class Escort Refit (in game, provided the player has access to them), are labeled as "Utopia". However, it remains uncertain if this is intended or not to be the ship's actual class-name.
