Constitution class

The Constitution class (refit) is a Federation Heavy Cruiser.

Description
Being the most prestigious vessel in Federation history, the Constitution Class was the primary heavy cruiser of Starfleet during the later half of the 23rd century. Several of Starfleet's most legendary vessels belong to this class.

Throughout her service life, the Constitution served many roles, from an exploration vessel to a diplomatic envoy, but not many remembered she was originally designed as a warship as well. Intended as a match for the Klingon's D7, she was instrumental in the final stage of the Four Years War. Numerous Constitutions had also fought in key battles in Starfleet history, protecting the Federation until their retirement.

After the Khitomer Accord was signed, which was, ironically, made possible by the USS Enterprise-A - a Constitution Class, the majority of the Constitution line - Enterprise included - was decommissioned as part of the agreement of the Khitomer Accord.

By now the Constitution Class is all but an obsolete design. Her reputations, however, has passed on and she become a legend in Starfleet. Whilst all decommissioned Constitutions are either mothballed or dismantled, a few are still classified by Starfleet as missing in action, perhaps floating adrift in the final frontier...
