  • Explorer
  • History
    • Galaxy Class Development Project (GCDP) approved: July 2343
      • Under jurisdiction and direction of Advanced Starship Design Bureau
      • Mission requirements and general specifications settled late 2343
        • Designed for extremely-long-term missions, up to fifteen years away from friendly ports (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
        • As a result, designed for combined Starfleet/civilian populations, including families of officers (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
      • Simulations begin 2344 to determine general requirements for satisfaction of specifications according to basic presumed characteristics
      • Forty space frame designs initially result from simulations; narrowed to 15 by 2345, space frame design locked early 2348
      • GCDP to include enhancements in propulsion, offensive, defensive, computer, sensor, and transporter technologies; technology prototype design and development continues parallel to space frame development
      • Initial plan for 12 commissioned vessels; NCC-70637 reserved for prototype, 7180x-7190x reserved for following 11
        • NCC-71817 cancelled once decision to name third vessel in USS Enterprise line finalized
        • After design finalization, decision made to complete six, take six to spaceframe completion for later activation
        • Construction resumed on latter six following Battle of Wolf 359
    • Initial construction: November 2348, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars
    • First commissioned: November 2357, USS Galaxy (NCC-70637)
      • First launched 2356, shakedown tests proceed over following year
      • Manraloth quantum virus infiltration led to scrapping, reconstruction of entire Galaxy-class software package, delaying planned 2361 official launch for Federation bicentennial celebrations (TNG Novel: The Buried Age)
      • Initial six launched 2/year starting 2363
      • Second six launched 2/year starting 2368
    • Due to Borg threat, additional 12 begin construction 2367 at Utopia Planitia, launched 4/year starting 2369; registries reserved 7280x-7291x
    • Deteriorating relations with Klingon Empire and looming Dominion threat leads additional 24 to begin construction of refit design early 2372 across various shipyards, launched 8/year starting mid-2373; registries reserved 7520x-7543x
      • Existing vessels undergo refit to uprated design as well starting 2372
      • NCC-75402 cancelled on naming after USS Excalibur, NCC-26517-A
