-'''Overview''': Designed specifically for use in the [[Dominion War]], the first of the '''''Curiosity''''' class launched too late to make any difference to that conflict. Instead, it had to be adapted in the post-war years to serve as a more conventional [[Star Fleet]] starship, taking over the peacetime duties of the many older ''[[Guide: Excelsior|Excelsior]]''-and ''[[Guide: Miranda|Miranda]]''-class ships destroyed by the [[Dominion]]. A robust design, equipped with some of the top of the range facilities of its day, the ''Curiosity'' class continued the Star Fleet tradition established by predecessors like the ''[[Guide: Constitution|Constitution]]'' and ''Excelsior'' classes.
+==Overview==
-'''Capabilities''': Formally categorized as a heavy cruiser, the ''Curiosity'' class design was built to reflect lessons learned in the early [[2370s]] from supposed failings of the ''[[Guide: Galaxy|Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Guide: Intrepid|Intrepid]]'' classes and the apparent success of the newer ''[[Guide: Sovereign|Sovereign]]'' class. The result is a tough, technically-advanced vessel built for speed. Although it could have been better equipped for scientific operations, the ''Curiosity''’s speed and endurance, along with generally-sound systems, make it a perfectly serviceable exploration starship. While only a relative few ''Curiosity''-class vessels were produced, they functioned well, and none ever, ever went mysteriously missing at all.
+The class emerged from "Starfleet Design Order Forvitni," an internal program aimed at creating standardized ship designs that could be built quickly at any [[Federation]] shipyard—returning Star Fleet to an era reminiscent of [[23rd century]] construction philosophies. This standardization became even more critical following the attack on [[Mars]] in [[2385]], which destroyed the [[Utopia Planitia Shipyards]] and forced Star Fleet to accelerate its rebuilding timeline.
