TNG Era Ships (2355-2370)
The TNG era features
no considerably different designs than the preceding
mid-24th century on one hand and the subsequent post-TNG
era on the other hand, but marks a transition from the
elliptical saucer and rounded hull shapes to more variety
in design approaches. Generally speaking, the single ship
designs are getting more distinctive. It has to be
mentioned that no design of this era actually appeared in
TNG, but ships like the prototype U.S.S Bradbury were
only mentioned. However, there are the ship classes from
"Star Trek VIII" (Akira, Norway and Saber) and Star Trek Voyager (Nova). With their registries below NCC-70000, the ship
designs could precede the TNG era, but given their
"modern" appearance they were most likely
developed in the 2360's. The Akira class still sports
the elliptical saucer, while the Norway and Nova have
rather triangular and the Saber an irregular main hull.
Other features, from the main arrangement to small
details, are also subject to vary considerably. It can be
supposed that all these ships achieve top speeds of at
least Warp 9.2. Their registries range from about
NCC-65000 to NCC-74000.
