![]() ![]() Maybe we should discount this as an VFX error. The Saratoga can be seen firing phasers from the sensor dome (like the TOS Constitution). The actual reason is that Gary Hutzel didn't get the lighting of the rollbar to work when he prepared the model for shooting, and decided that the ship would still look good without it, thereby "inventing" the sub-class. Demoted to a transport ship, the Lantree apparently does not need the weapons in the rollbar any more. ![]() The two modified versions seem to be far less common, since the only known ships of these subclasses are the Lantree in TNG: "Unnatural Selection" (Miranda II) and the second Saratoga in DS9: "Emissary" (Miranda III), respectively.It appeared in many episodes of TNG and DS9, set almost 100 years later. The original Miranda (USS Reliant) was designed by Mike Minor and Joe Jennings for "Star Trek II" and built at ILM.Some older ships have been reassigned to act as transport vessels. Miranda-class starships are still in use during the Dominion War. The Miranda III has no rollbar, but additional sensor pods at the port and starboard sides of the saucer. The original version has a photon torpedo tube mounted on a "rollbar", whereas the rollbar was removed from the Miranda II, a transport variant. The warp nacelles are attached to the saucer bottom, which is extended at the rear end to hold additional sensor arrays on the top and two shuttlebays. General description The Miranda class is apparently a parallel development to the reconstructed Constitution class. This model probably didn't make it to the screen. A model of the USS Trieste was built for use on DS9, a kitbash consisting of a Miranda-class saucer and Galaxy-class nacelles.According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia II, the one with "Merced class" is correct though. Actually, there are two versions of this display, of which one lists the Trieste NCC-37124 as a member of the "Yosemite class". The class name and individual ship name come from a TNG Okudagram labeled "Starfleet Operations". No ship of this class was ever visible.It must have been introduced in the first decades of the 24th century, according to registry of USS Trieste, and it is not capable of intercepting a Galaxy-class ship. General description We know very little about the Merced class. While the individual ships were referred to on displays or in dialogue, the class name Mediterranean is from the Star Trek Encyclopedia. General description There are no known facts about the Mediterranean class except that it was already in service in 2349.Īnnotations No ship of this class ever appeared on screen. All ships are named for moons in the Sol system. The name "Luna class" is official since LOW: "An Embarrassment of Dooplers".Although often otherwise stated, the design was non-canon until its appearance on Lower Decks. It was the winning entry in a competition to design Riker's ship (as mentioned in "Star Trek Nemesis") for the novel series Star Trek: Titan. The Luna was designed by Sean Tourangeau.As many as 36(!) Luna-class ships are part of the doomed fleet in PIC: "Vox" and "The Last Generation". Ships of the Luna class appear in PIC: "The Star Gazer" and "Farewell".A sensor or weapons pod sits atop the saucer hull.Īrticle: The Fleet in PIC: "The Star Gazer" and "Farewell" The design consists of a an ovaloid saucer directly attached to an engineering, with two nacelles that align to the bottom of that engineering hull. The Luna class is a top-of-the-line starship with high combat strength. Starfleet A-K Starfleet L-Z Uncertain Starfleet Class Unknown Starfleet Class ![]()
