This page is about the Starships in Star Trek. In short, Star Trek starships are a key part of the franchise. They are both Iconic and without them our brave space explorers would have no means to Trek about the Stars.
Systems
Drives
The main means of FTL travel in Star Trek is Warp Drive, which distorts space time around the ship forming a bubble around it. Anything within that bubble can move along at superluminal speeds.
For STL travel, Impulse Drives are used. These work on a broadly similar principle to Warp Drive, but don't need Antimatter Reactors to work. In a Pinch they can work as a low-end Warp Drive.

Ships by Faction
Needless to say a series about flying around the galaxy in Starships has a lot of different classes. This is not a comprehensive list, for that go to Memory Alpha, but here's some of the more prominent ship classes.
United Federation of Planets
For brevity's sake this shall also include pre-Federation United Earth ships.
2150s
- NX Class:
2260s-80s
- Constitution class: Kirk's Enterprise. 288.6 meters long, has a crew of 400.
- Excelsior class
2360s-80s
- Galaxy class:
- Intrepid class:
- Defiant class:
- Sovereign class:
- California class:
Klingon Empire
- D7 class
- B'rel class
- Vor'cha class
- Negh'Var class
Romulan Star Empire
- Bird of Prey:
- D'deridex class:
Cardassian Union
- Galor class:
Dominion
Ferengi Alliance
- D'kora class: Also known as the Ferengi Marauder, the D'kora has a distinctive double crescent shaped hull. At 630 meters long and 210 it was in the same size ballpark as the Galaxy Class and was reasonably formidable. D'koras are not only capable warships, but also advanced cargo ships and long range scout craft. Like the Federation the Ferengi Alliance used these ships to seek out new life and new civilizations, but where the Federation sought knowledge and understanding the Ferengi sought new markets, goods and peoples to swindle and exploit.
Borg Collective
- Cube
- Sphere
Misc
