== History ==Originally conceived as a deep-space Explorer and Reconnaissance Vessel in the early 2380s, the Vesta-class was beset by technical issues and ultimately suspended as the First General War loomed. The project was revived as part of the [[Fleet Modernization Program]] in 2417, intended to supplement the new [[Beckett Class Star Cruiser|Beckett Class]] and replace the ageing and increasingly maintenance-heavy [[Avenger Class Heavy Cruiser|Avenger]] and [[Zeus Class Light Cruiser|Zeus]] classes as a middleweight explorer that combined the strengths of both vessels and go some way to negate the glaring weaknesses in the previous design; which had been built as warships first, and explorers second. The earliest ships in the class would also serve as testbeds for new technologies, including holographic displays and [[Quantum Slipstream Drive]]; the latter having finally been deemed viable forty years following the concept's initial transmission from the ill-fated USS Voyager.
