NEBULA-CLASS STARSHIP
U.S.S. NEBULA NCC-60147

The Nebula-class Starship Development Project began in 2343. The project was a direct descendent of the Galaxy-class starship, with much of the Nebula technology based on the Galaxy-class. The project came about because Starfleet needed a starship with the capabilities of a Galaxy-class starship, but in a smaller package, allowing for faster and more efficient construction. The Nebula-class starship uses a saucer section based on the Galaxy-class design, attached to a smaller stardrive section. The Nebula saucer is not separatable from the engineering hull. The Nebula-class starships feature a large customizable equipment module on top of the engineering hull stardrive section. Depending on the mission of the starship, different modules can be installed. Most Nebula starships are usually configured for weapons and sensors.

The prototype starship U.S.S. Nebula NCC-60147 was commissioned in 2357 at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. The U.S.S. Nebula was destroyed by the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367.

Other notable Nebula-class starships include:

U.S.S. Honshu NCC-60205 -- one of the first production Nebula starships. It was destroyed by the Cardassians in 2374 while transporting Gul Dukat to his Federation trial for war crimes.
U.S.S. Farragut NCC-60579. Recovered survivors of U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from Veridian III after its destruction in 2371. In 2373, the Farragut was destroyed by the Klingons while assisting the Ajilon Prime colony.
U.S.S. Hera NCC-62006, commanded by Captain Silva La Forge. In 2370, during a routine courier run operating out of Deep Space 3, the Hera mysteriously disappeared. A search was unable to locate any trace of the vessel and it was declared lost.
U.S.S. Phoenix NCC-65420, commanded by Captain Ben Maxwell. Discovered Cardassians violated treaty and attacked and destroyed Cardassian vessels without Starfleet orders.
U.S.S. Endeavour NCC-71805, commanded by Captain Amasov. Part of Picard's blockade of the Romulan-Klingon border in late 2367/early 2368; in 2373, the Endeavour faced the Borg at the Battle of Sector 001.
U.S.S. Sutherland NCC-72015. Part of Picard's blockade of the Romulan-Klingon border in late 2367/early 2368. Temporarily commanded by Lt. Commander Data.
