The Soyuz-class was a type of starship in service to the Federation in the mid-23rd century, until being retired from service in the late 2280s. When all of the Soyuz class were being retired from service, several of their components were removed and installed on other ships. The parts taken from them included phaser strips and subspace transceivers.
The Soyuz-class vessels "could barely exceed warp six," according to Captain Morgan Bateson, who commanded the Soyuz-class USS Bozeman.
External design[]
The class design was based on the single hull configuration that was employed by the Miranda class. Mounted on the underside of the primary hull were two nacelle pylons connected to the warp nacelles. The aft section featured an enlarged tail section that protruded out behind the ship, surrounded on either side by its dual shuttlebays. Above either nacelle were mounted outboard sensor pods.
Internal design[]
Main bridge[]
Main bridge
The Soyuz-class bridge shared a similar floor plan with contemporary Federation starships of its era. Located in the front was the ship's viewscreen, with the captain's chair located near the center of the bridge. A stand-up console is located on the rear starboard side between the captain and the railing that separates the center of the bridge from the rear wall, which has various systems stations located along it.
