Fleet Modernization Program (view source)

The Star Fleet Modernization Program was a standardization project by the Federation Star Fleet, initially implemented in the early 2370s. The project was implemented as a result of the increasing number of wars the Federation was fighting and the increasing need for more vessels that could fulfil combat roles in Star Fleet, rather than dedicated explorer designs. The project was criticised by many for its supposed "militarization" of Star Fleet. The name also referred to starships developed as a part of the project. The program was suspended in 2390, when a purpose-built military Star Fleet was deemed to be required in the face of multiple aggressors.
The program was resurrected in 2417 under the guidance of Vice Admiral [[Braggins, Paul|Braggins]] and Rear Admiral [[Mirax]] as part of Star Fleet's rediscovered scientific and exploration mandate in an era of peace. New classes would still be able to defend themselves, but would be scientific and exploration vessels first and foremost.

Designed as a deep-space explorer and Fleet Flagship, the Odyssey-class is the most advanced starship built in Federation Space to date. It is also one of the largest at over one kilometer long, and is expected to replace the old Pulsar-class Battleships in combat roles. In peacetime, however, the Odyssey is well-equipped for long-range exploration operations, though it lacks the dedicated facilities for families that its cousin the Andromeda has been equipped with.
