- Medium cruiser
- History
- Development project approved: 2120, San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth
- Initial plan was for exploring variations of then-standard fusion-based warp drive to improve capabilities beyond warp 2
- 2130: Lead warp theorist Victor Brodesser pushed for variations on the basic ion drive model based on early theories derived from reported interactions with ion storms
- Initial designs of cascading ion drive begun 2134 (ENT Novel: Daedalus)
- Initial plan was for exploring variations of then-standard fusion-based warp drive to improve capabilities beyond warp 2
- Prototype commissioned: 2135, Daedalus
- Cascading ion drive prototype begins construction 2139 (ENT Novel: Daedalus)
- Launched: October 5, 2140 (ENT Novel: Daedalus)
- Lost upon failure of cascading ion drive (ENT Novel: Daedalus)
- General success of spaceframe results in M/AM retrofit
- Redesign begins 2141
- Registry block 151-179 reserved 2141
- Begins general production: 2144, USS Masao
- Launched 2144
- Success of class leads to continuation of construction beyond initial production run, second block 210-239 reserved 2153
- Production accelerated December 2155 for Earth-Romulan War, block expanded to 210-269 (ENT Novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
- Due to Earth-Romulan War, refit design begins 2156 using NX-class technology (ENT Novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
- Existing ships to undergo accelerated 90 day refit as feasible, all new vessels to be built under new design specifications
- Accelerated production run and reassignment of resources from NX/Intrepid production increases rate of production from 5/year to 10/year, over 3x NX production speed
- Three-plus times quicker production cycle by Beneath the Raptor's Wing
- Production halts 2160 following cessation of Earth-Romulan War, initial technology exchanges and fleet rearrangements leading up to founding of Federation
- Second refit begins 2161 to incorporate non-Human technology as part of fleet-wide refit project for all existing Earth Starfleet vessels as part of Starfleet incorporation (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Though initially thought out of date, with plans c.2163 to begin phasing out in lieu of Ceres-class vessels, post-war refit resulted in surprisingly reliable results (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- High crew capacity proved especially useful for personnel or colony transportation (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
- Retirement: 2196 (TNG: "Power Play")
- Due to aging systems and spaceframes no longer compatible with advancing technology, all active vessels removed from service
- USS Benjamin Franklin stripped of sensitive technology and warp drive, remanded to Starfleet Academy for use as Sol-system training vessel
- Due to lack of materiel, on request by Starfleet Corps of Engineers for SCE-dedicated starships, provisional reactivation of three vessels 2264 authorized
- USS Masao, USS Zander, and USS Lovell reactivated from Surplus Depot Z15, refit to modern standards, remanded to SCE
- Development project approved: 2120, San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth
- Statistics
- Length: 225m (ST: Legacy)

- 2161 Refit: Warp 5
- 2264 SCE Refit: Warp 5
- Maximum speed: Warp 3.5
- Estimated as below
- In Beneath the Raptor's Wing, NX-class will intercept vessel from edge of system 5 minutes before Daedalus-class at Warp 5
- Edge of system at approximately 50 AU
- Fesoan at approximately 3 AU by CLB's calculations
- 47 AU at warp 5 is approximately 3m
- 47 AU in 8m is approximately warp 3.5
