 The [[ma:New_Orleans_class|New Orleans]] class was introduced as a counterpart to the large [[ma:Nebula class|Nebula]] and [[ma:Galaxy class|Galaxy]] class starships. The intention was to produce a Frigate that incorporated the technology advances being deployed on these two starships. The New Orleans would also have nearly equal speed to facilitate fleet operations.
