Changes

The Prometheus class was a Federation starship class in service to Star Fleet designed for deep-space tactical assignments. It was one of the most advanced Star Fleet vessels in operation during the latter half of the 24th century.

Following the Krynar War, Star Fleet was determined to return to its roots of exploration and diplomacy. To reaffirm the return to its original mission, Star Fleet set their sights on creating a new generation of starship with long-term, deep space missions in mind. The ship combines the latest in Federation technologies, with sleek 25th century design, and all the comforts to support families on long-term assignments. Utilizing a new design of warp nacelles and a more efficient warp energy system, the Beckett-class is faster and more efficient than previous vessels, allowing for longer missions between resupply. The design allow integrates new technologies developed out of the Krynar War, the Borg Invasion, and other technological innovations.

The first vessel of the class, the [[USS Beckett, CX-2000]] was launched in early 2418.

The Vesta-class was first proposed in 2380, but the project never got off the ground due to budgetary concerns and the increasing militarisation of Star Fleet. The class was designed as a multi-mission explorer and was intended to be a test-bed for a number of experimental technologies, including quantum slipstream drive. The design languished for nearly forty years before being acted upon, with the test vessel launching in September 2418 using technology also incorporated into the [[Beckett Class Star Cruiser|Beckett-class]] while the former was subjected to rigorous testing following her disastrous maiden voyage.
