'''Notes:''' Taking advantage of knowledge and experience gained from creating the Istanbul-class Fast Cruiser and the early work on the Galaxy-class Explorer, the Advanced Starship Design Bureau (ASBD) decided to create another Fast Cruiser to compliment the Istanbul. They kept its unusual three-nacelle configuration, but reversed it. Two nacelles are above the saucer and aft, and one is directly ventral to the Engineering hull (which was adapted from the Ambassador-class Explorer and allow the ship to carry more cargo than most Fast Cruisers, as well as a second impulse engine for extra power or emergency use). They christened their new creation the Niagara-class fast cruiser.
 
Compared to the Istanbul-class, the Niagara-class is faster, but much less well armed. It has only six small phaser arrays, all located on the saucer; due to their size and placement no single one of them covers the full 405-degree angle common to saucer phasers, but together they provide complete coverage of both sides of the vessel, with some overlap.
 
Like all Starfleet ships its role is primarily one of peaceful exploration and diplomacy, and the Niagara has served well in these arenas. Niagara-class Fast Cruisers are common sights at diplomatic conferences, trade agreement negotiations, and similar events. Their speed, relatively luxurious accommodations, and light armament makes them the favorite of many diplomats. The class is fitted with Grade 4 diplomatic facilities, and as such is capable of handling multi-planetary conferences involving several high level diplomats and their staffs. In the scientific arena the class���?� high average speed allows it to cover greater areas than would be normal for a ship of this size, while the sensor fit on commissioning was of a generally more advanced type than that of the Ambassadors.
 
'''Noteworthy vessels:''' USS Niagara, prototype; USS Princeton, NCC-58904, destroyed in the Battle of Wolf 359 (2368); USS Wellington, NCC-28473, former posting of Ro Laren; USS Wells, NCC-39217, currently assigned to diplomatic duties in Sector 001; USS Thims, NCC-59015, served as primary diplomatic transport during Cardassian peace talks (2366-2368); USS Raleigh, NCC-51378, served as location of negotiations which established the Rigellian Trade Accords (2359). Also in service: USS Fairfax, NCC-39643; USS Joshua Tree, NCC-56676; USS T���?�Pavis, NCC-60023.
