Affiliation United Federation of Planets Used by Starfleet Type Research, transport Prototyping phase -2280s Operational phase 2280s- Ships constructed >50 Description This starship class was introduced in the late 23rd century as a successor to the outdated Constitution class and as supplement to the stronger, larger and faster, though slower-acting and more unreliable Excelsior class. The most remarkable feature of the Miranda class is the large roll bar, configurable for specific mission, which is used in a similiar form only in the Nebula class again. Thus, this class also has the most sub-types and modifications: three times the appearances of the ships were slightly changed, and a version improved particularly for combat missions was separated into the new Soyuz class. While the Miranda class constitutes a majority of the fleet together with the Excelsior class, its current tasks mostly aren't research, escort and combat missions any longer, but supply missions and feed jobs, since the Miranda class cannot compete in technique and performance with modern classes, but are still very reliable. The production of the Miranda class was adjusted in the late 24th century, while the class is at present slowly diminishing. -
