*'''NX Class''': Earth's first Warp 5 spacecraft, allowing it to really make itself known on the local scene first with the Enterprise (NX-01). 225 Meters long and 136 meters across at the saucer. Had a couple of phase cannons, photonic torpedo launchers and grappler launchers for towing things while defensively it has armour that it could magnetize to make it stronger. Captain Archer set out in it, used it to stop the Xindi and it saw service in the Earth Romulan War. It originally had a similar shape to the Akira class, but later got an engineering hull put on it's underside.  Apocryphal sources also later name it the "Columbia class".
*'''Intrepid Type''': the first class to bear the title before Voyager would come on the scene more than a century later. In the show it was designed explicitly to ''not'' be the hero ship; armed the same way as the NX class, but with a blocky look that made it appear to be far less advanced. Beta-canon sources claim this ship was produced simultaneously to the NX class, but did not benefit from any of the attention that was lavished onto the Warp 5 program, resulting in an overall inferior vessel. Other sources claimed that for the resources to make an NX, you could make two Intrepids, or even ''three'' Daedalus', showing just how strapped Starfleet was during the Earth/Romulan war.
*'''Daedalus class''': A ship about 140 meters long with a spherical saucer section with the deflector dish and a bottle shaped engineering section that most likely saw use in the Earth/Romulan War as an even cheaper alternative to the NX/Intrepid classes.
**Not much is known about the Daedalus class in universe as all we've seen of it is a few shots here and there and originally IRL it was kind of a in-joke. Some guy with the Deep Space Nine looked up the old concept art for the Enterprise, thought it was neat and made a model of it called the USS Horizon (NCC-176) that showed up in the background of the show here and there. Nerds being Nerds, they took note of this and it caused a bit of a kerfuffle with fans when the NX-01 did not look like it.
