Odyssey class

The Odyssey-class was a type of Federation starship that was the lead type of Starfleet explorer vessel in the early 25th century.

Features
The Odyssey-class is actually divided into four sub-classes, the prototype star cruiser design and three advanced variants: a tactical variant with greater focus on firepower, an operations variant with greater engineering capabilities and defensibility, and a science variant with improved science facilities.

The Odyssey-class features the ability for saucer separation much like the. The chevron-shaped saucer section can be separated from the stardrive section, allowing greater maneuverability to the stardrive section. The chevron section can be reattached to the stardrive section at any time. In addition, an escort ship is docked to the rear of the ship's stardrive (roughly where the secondary shuttle bay would be located on a ), which can be deployed at will. It also carries six workbees in the main shuttlebay for field repairs.

The pinnacle of the Odyssey-class's technological achievement is the advanced quantum slipstream drive carried aboard all Odyssey-class vessels. The advanced quantum slipstream drive propels the Odyssey-class to its fastest speed, transwarp 34.71+.
