The Vesta-class Explorer represents the epitome of late 24th-century engineering. Designed as a long-range vessel of exploration, the Vesta built off the success of the Dauntless class of the early 2380s and equipped with Starfleet's first production Quantum Slipstream Drive. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, the Vesta-class starship is often assigned to deep-space exploration and reconnaissance missions and is therefore rarely seen within Federation Space. Due to the complexity of the systems and the need to distribute construction of new hulls following the destruction of the Utopia Planitia Shipyards in 2385, only a limited number of hulls were completed before resources were diverted to other projects.
