The Crossfield class was a 24th century Federation starship type, a refit of the 23rd century Crossfield-class science vessel, in Starfleet service in the 2380s decade.
Technical data[]
The design consisted of a saucer section made of a central sphere and two rings, a wide triangular secondary hull, and two elongated warp nacelles. The navigational deflector emitted blue light and was mounted at the front tip of the secondary hull. The wide, flat shuttlebay was situated at the rear of the triangle, between the back-sweeping nacelle pylons and impulse engines.
A ship of this class was 750.5 meters long, has 42 decks and hosted a crew of 855. A portion of the ship's length was attributed to its exceptionally long warp nacelles.
A Crossfield class ship was capable of conducting over three hundred scientific studies simultaneously. The ship's armament included phasers, quantum phasers, heavy quantum phasers, photon torpedoes and quantum torpedoes.
Ships of this class also included warp drive for faster-than-light propulsion.
The ships had deflector shield capability for defense.
Crossfield-class starships were also equipped with tractor beams for towing spacial objects.
Shuttlebays were also present on Crossfield-class starships, with force fields being utilized to contain the atmosphere, as with all Federation starships.
Service history[]
The USS Crossfield (NCC-72465) was the first ship of its class in service in 2380. The USS Glenn (NCC-14424) was in active service in 2381 and the USS Andromeda was in service by 2382.
