Nebula Class
Notable Ships: USS Farragut, USS Honshu, USS
Lexington, USS Merrimac, USS Monitor.
What it is: The Nebula Class, like the Miranda
Class had the ability to interchange
modules making it quite a versatile craft.
The modules including sensor arrays, storage
units, the ever-popular weapons platform,
and even additional warp nacelles for better
fuel mileage.
And this ship did it all!
Transportation, scouting, science and exploration,
but it was also present at several battles
including Wolf 359, Sector 001, and several
battles in the Dominion War.
But that doesn’t make it cool.
Why it’s cool: The Nebula Class is cool
for single, yet very important, reason: The
way it looks.
The Nebula Class closely resembles the Galaxy
Class ship in both look and design, and those
saucer sections are nearly identical.
This showed a consistency between newly created
starships in the universe itself, and was
a lot cooler than seeing the same old (and
we mean OLD) Excelsior Class ships flying
around.
It’s tough to nail down which design came
first; the Nebula or the Galaxy; but it only
really matters in the context of a truly unnecessary
geek debate.
