Ambassador Class Ships
Ship
/ Class History:
In the early 24th
Century Starfleet was feeling the
pressure of Defending Federation
planets from hostile forces
including the Klingon and Romulan
Empires decided that a new class
of Starship was to be built to
replace the out gunned Excelsior
class. This decision was made
after a number of embarrassing
incident in which Excelsior class
vessels had been forced to
retreat from heavily armed
opponents. The design brief was
for a large and yet fast
battleship capable of exploration
and cargo transport in none
military situations. Starfleet
Engineers and designers
eventually came up with the
Ambassador Class Starship.
Designers drew upon the brief
designs from the Constitution
class ships with technical input
from both the Constitution
redesign and the Excelsior class
of starship. The construction of
the ship went smoothly with
little incident and the test ship,
USS Ambassador proved itself very
capable in battle simulations.
The ship was able to carry a much
larger cargo and was also able to
hold a great deal more crew.
Upgraded defensive and weapons
systems proved highly effective
in real combat situations. The
ships were originally produced at
Earth Station McKinley, although
this later expanded to other
Shipyards. A new modification was
armour specially developed in
case of shield failure . Thick
duranium plate armor cover over
the out hull protecting vital
areas of the ship from
bombardment.
