Hermes class (alternate reality)

The Hermes class was a type of Federation starship in service in the 2250s of the alternate reality created by Nero in 2233. Because of the temporal incursion, Starfleet developed new starship designs including the Hermes class.

Development History
Built alongside the Saladin class, the Hermes-class and the Saladin class were designed to be the replacement of the aging Klevin class that had been in service for at least 25 years as of 2258.

The Hermes class was identical to the Einstein class starships with the exception of the secondary hull.

It is possible that the alternate reality Hermes class vessels were actually prime Hermes-class ships that were never refitted after the timeline change in 2233.
