Since the commission of USS ''Galaxy'' herself in 2357, this marvel of starship engineering and design has captured the imaginations of billions across the Federation, defended its worlds, and continues to push the boundaries of exploration. Now in its fourth decade of service, the ''Galaxy'' class has cemented itself as the modern standard by which all other classes have since been judged. | |||

Plans for the ''Galaxy'' class starship first began in the early 2340s. The [[Romulan Star Empire]] had remained mostly in isolation since the disastrous Tomed Incident of 2311. Meanwhile, relations were improving between the Federation and the [[Klingon Empire]], bolstered by the sacrifice of the USS ''Enterprise''-C's crew in defense of a Klingon outpost on Narendra III. Against this political backdrop, the ''Galaxy'' class starship was forged. | Plans for the ''Galaxy'' class starship first began in the early 2340s.
