Born from the fires of the Dominion War, the Vesta Class starship was designed as the Federation’s ‘return to exploration’ multi-mission explorer. With state of the art technology, the Vesta class was an entirely new breed of starship. First placed in service in 2380, it serves as a testbed for various new and experimental technologies for Starfleet, helping to advance starship design in general. From weapons to propulsion, the Vesta class has been instrumental in bringing theory to reality all across the Federation and to its allies. | Born from the fires of the Dominion War, the Vesta Class starship was designed as the Federation’s ‘return to exploration’ multi-mission explorer.
