U.S.S. Akira

Designed for quick insertion and even faster escape, the Akira-class is one of Starfleet’s most versatile and maneuverable vessels. Ditching the usual saucer-secondary hull-nacelle design, the Akira resembles the early NX class, an image of a simpler time. However, don’t let this nostalgic design fool you, this vessel is more than capable of keeping up with any modern opponent. In its brief tenure in Starfleet’s forward fleets, the Akira-class has seen a staggering amount of combat in decisive battles such as the Battle of Deep Space Nine, the First Battle of Chin'toka, and the final conflict of the Dominion War, the Battle of Cardassia.
