====2200s-50s====
*'''Walker Class:''' Briefly the "hero" ship of Discovery with the ''USS Shenzou'' taking centre stage for the first few episodes. The class was already showing its age by the time of its reveal, with only a Warp 6 engine, while sporting phase cannons AND phasers at the same time, serving to only highlight the transition between the ENT era and the TOS era.
*'''Constitution class''': Pike/Kirk's Enterprise(NCC-1701) and the Federation's main exploratory ship of its day, entering service around 2245 and was explicitly designed for those "Five Year Missions" and was therefore intended to have the best of everything on board. At one point Kirk mentions that there were only thirteen built, though that may have increased later. 288.6 meters long, had a crew of 400. It was listed in setting as originally having a design endurance of eighteen years, therefore after twenty-five years of service, the 2270s TMP era gave it a service extension refit that increased her length to 305 meters, rearranged a lot of their internals (so much so that Admiral Kirk got lost in the corridors) as well as providing an increase in both speed and firepower. It also looks much better as well. Kirk's first Enterprise served at least another fifteen years, and was considered an "old" and outdated design by the time it got destroyed. Kirk then got a second Constitution (NCC 1701-A) that saw him out another seven years until the class was decommissioned.
*'''Crossfield Class:''' Officially designated as a Science vessel, it was designed as a test-bed for Spore Drive technology that could allow a ship to move 90 light years in 1.3 seconds. Sporting a very unusual ring design rather than a true saucer, contrasted with a triangular secondary hull, the design harkens back to original concept art from an unscreened ''Star Trek: Phase II''. Technologically, the Spore Drive was considered a failure, but the class continued in service even after the loss of the USS Discovery, with several showing up later in SNW.
