	The UFP’s [[Star Fleet]] re-registered all vessels it inherited upon its formation and didn’t foresee that more than 100 vessels of any one class would be built. As such, the inherited and new-build vessels were all assigned a range of 100 numbers to fill, that was limited to that specific class. When a new class was built, it would receive the next block of 100 numbers. If a class exceeded 100 units built, it would be assigned another block of 100 numbers, often separated from the original block. This created gaps within the overall numbering sequence, appearing to suggest there were more starships within the Star Fleet than actually existed. (This was also an advantage for "black ops" ships, which could be assigned a number in a non-related class and sneak by extreme scrutiny of any watchdog or intelligence groups monitoring Star Fleet’s construction programs.)
