	Construction on the first four hulls was completed in late [[2145]]. Work on engine systems had proceeded on schedule as well, and two pairs of 125-meter, 100,000 ton PB-3 warp nacelles were ready for installation. These big brothers to the ''[[Guide: Daedalus\|Daedalus]]'' PB-2 were at the upper end of the size range suited for the hulls and protruded slightly ahead of forward hull trailing edge. The engine support pylons inboard and downcanted fins outboard of the nacelles held thermal exchangers and plasma vents, along with field guides. Primary drive plasma exhausts were shuttered with hemispherical diffuser electrodes for greater stealth in deep space operations, as well as for additional energy recovery.

	What was lacking was the antimatter powerplant initially projected for the class. Yet such projections had never been considered completely realistic by the UESF and a more conventional fusion backup was readily available. The inaugural pair of vessels, ''~~USS~~ Triton'' and ''~~USS~~ Redoubtable'', sailed out of their box docks in February [[2146]] and the other two unnamed hulls were also floated away so that construction on the next set of four could begin. Centuries of naval history weighed upon the UESF when it decided to dub the new combat vessels "heavy cruisers", separating them from the preceding generations of less combat-ready survey spacecraft in the most inoffensive way possible.

	A shakedown period of two years saw the ships try out their weapons and sensors against a number of simulated threats near Earth, stretch their legs at warp three cruises to [[Alpha Centauri]], [[Sirius]], and [[Draylax]] and reach a dash speed of warp 3.6. The ''Trafalgar'' and ''Lepanto'' received their engines in [[2147]] and the next four vessels were completed in [[2149]]-[[2150\|50]]. Orders were placed for a third batch of four as well, bringing total financial expenditure to about 50% that spent on the ''Messier'' cruisers. This did not go down well in the [[UE]] Senate, which after the [[2150]] gradualist party victory began to question the investment in warships that seldom left [[Sol]] and did virtually nothing to curtail piracy.

	Early triumphs and disasters in the [[Romulan War]] almost invariably involved the presence of a ''Triton'' cruiser. Yet once the action moved outside of Earth territory, the ''Tritons'' disappeared from headlines. This was partially due to the inability of the vessels to accompany the slashing strikes of fast ''Enterprise'', ''[[Guide: Achilles\|Achilles]]'', or ''[[Guide: Christopher\|Christopher]]'' formations. A more concrete reason for the diminishing role came from the heavy combat losses suffered by the class. By the time of the battle of [[Cheron]], only four ''Tritons'' of the original twelve remained space-worthy. The [[UFP Star Fleet]] proceeded to drive the ''Intrepid'' (now NCC-02) and the ''Fearless'' (NCC-09) past their limits in the [[Tarn]] confrontation, retiring the vessels in non-serviceable condition in [[2167]] and expending them as targets. The ''Dauntless'' (NCC-01) and the ''Gallant'' (NCC-04) were likewise rendered un-battleworthy in the conflict, but were not stricken until [[2172]]. Out of the five final units, only ''USS Pioneer'' (NCC-63) attained fame in warp drive experiments and a groundbreaking diplomatic mission to [[Beta Rigel]].
