- Explorer
- Very large multi-purpose starship. Largest and most versatile actual starship type in Starfleet, although smaller than some terraformers or ore carriers. Current classes include Galaxy and Nebula, while older explorers of Ambassador and Niagra classes, as well as the pathfinder Excelsior class, have been redesignated as heavy cruisers. Starfleet fielded the first explorers in early 24th century, and continues development of these large, independent vessels even though the general trend in the late 24th century is again towards large numbers of specialized small starships. Standard explorer mission profile includes independent exploration, power projection, fleet command duties and diplomatic representation.
