Patria Class

Starships of the Galaxy class are the largest, most complex and most expensive of Starfleet. After a relatively short development period, the USS Patria was built as a somewhat simpler alternative, taking advantage of more efficient production methods. This ship is slightly smaller but was supposed to be "almost equivalent" to a Galaxy-class starship in all technical data. Nevertheless, the performance of the Patria turned out at most satisfactory, so it was not intended to build further units after the first tests. The situation changed when the Battle of Wolf 359 disclosed a need for heavily armed starships. Starfleet decided to build the easily alterable Patria class with enhanced weaponry. So five more starships of this class were commissioned within a few years. Despite the obvious lack of huge starships, it is not clear whether production of the Patria class will be continued, since the even more heavily armed Sovereign class is available by now.
