( STO mission: " Welcome to Earth Spacedock") ( TOS movie: The Search for Spock TNG movie: Star Trek: First Contact WizKids module: Tactics)īy the year 2409, a refit had mounted at least four phaser arrays and nine escape pods on the primary hull. ( TNG episodes: " Realm of Fear", " The Naked Now")įor defensive and tactical situations, the class was equipped with deflector shields, phaser arrays and a probe/ photon torpedo launcher. The crew compliment ranged from five to 80. The secondary hull housed the warp core, and a small shuttlebay was located in the aft section. The Oberth-class had 13 decks, which included six levels within the pylons.
The Oberth-class's status as an explorer came to an end with the introduction of the Galaxy-class starship in the 2360s, and the class itself was succeeded by the Nova-class later in the same decade.
Other ships were utilised as couriers or transports. The class also served in tactical support roles such as the USS Bonestell recording tactical data during the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367, and then in 2373 three Oberth-class starships fought the Borg during the Battle of Sector 001. One ship, the USS Trosper, found service with the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, and another, the USS Pegasus, was used as a testbed vessel for various technologies including an illegal Federation cloaking device. Īs well as ongoing scientific research and exploration, the Oberth-class served other mission profiles. Notable missions of the class and its sub-classes include the USS Chaffee's first contact with the Bzzit Khaht in 2274 USS Grissom's assignment to the Genesis Planet in 2285 deep-space exploration by the USS Oberth in 2293 the first exploration of the interior of the Badlands by the USS Yosemite in 2336 and the USS Armstrong's Gamma Quadrant survey mission in 2369. The design was successful enough to spawn at least three sub-classes: the Clarke-class and the slightly larger Gagarin-class in the 23rd century and the larger still Sagan-class in the 24th century. Star Trek: Starship Spotter gives a commission date of 2290. The Oberth-class was introduced as early as the year 2250 and became one of the primary instruments of Starfleet's exploration program.
