With projections showing Starfleet’s total inventory would be unable to continue at wartime levels, ''Veritas'' represents the new generation of Starfleet cruisers designed to provide a combination of defensive and logistical capabilities previously requiring multiple vessels. | With projections showing Starfleet’s total inventory would be unable to continue at wartime levels, ''Veritas'' represents the new generation of Starfleet cruisers designed to provide a combination of defensive and logistical capabilities previously requiring multiple vessels. | ||

She employs four nacelles as is typical of deep space extended-range cruisers such as the earlier ''Constellation'' and {{class|Cheyenne}} classes. By cycling between pairs of nacelles for warp operations, ''Veritas'' is able to double her warp drive’s MTBF (mean time between failures), reducing her need to return to starbases after operations. | She employs four nacelles as is typical of deep space extended-range cruisers such as the earlier ''Constellation'' and {{class|Cheyenne}} classes.

''Veritas'' incorporates upgraded defensive technologies such as ablative hull armor and phaser pulse cannons. While still not equivalent to a {{c|Defiant}} escort in tactical strength, ''Veritas'' is considerably more resilient than previous medium cruisers such as the {{class|Steamrunner}}, {{class|Cheyenne}}, and {{class|Miranda}} classes, the later two of which are expected to be gradually phased out of active deployment in the fleet by the end of the century. | ''Veritas'' incorporates upgraded defensive technologies such as ablative hull armor and phaser pulse cannons.

Unlike the ''Defiant'' class escort, ''Veritas'' still offers the full capabilities of a cruiser, including basic laboratory research and engineering workshop capabilities. While not as luxurious as Starfleet’s larger explorers, ''Veritas'' is able to provide suitable accommodation for small diplomatic functions as expected during its missions facilitating local affairs at the sector level. | Unlike the ''Defiant'' class escort, ''Veritas'' still offers the full capabilities of a cruiser, including basic laboratory research and engineering workshop capabilities.
