This page lists all Federation starships that are available for members to request as commands in the current era of Bravo Fleet, the early 25th-century. For information on how to request a command and which ships are available at which ranks, consult the Command Policy. While all of these classes are in service, not all of them are still in production, so consult the individual article for specific production dates. Information about older vessels can be found in the Retired Federation Starships category.
Explorers
Heavy Explorers
Heavy explorers are the largest vessels in Federation service, capable of extended duration missions outside of Federation space as the centerpiece of a formation of other explorers and support vessels, equivalent to the dreadnoughts of other powers.Explorers
Explorers are very large vessels, capable of independent deep-space missions outside of Federation space, often supporting smaller vessels, equivalent to the battleships of other powers.Emissaries
Emissaries are a sub-type of explorers fitted out for diplomatic and humanitarian duties, including complex, high-stakes negotiations and delicate first contact missions. They tend to trade some degree of armament for diplomatic and communications facilities, but otherwise remain capable of the same missions taken on by other explorers.Light Explorers
Light explorers are cruiser-sized starships capable of independent deep-space missions outside of Federation space, often working in concert with larger explorers and helping identify exploratory missions for follow-up by scouts and surveyors.Cruisers
Exploratory Cruisers
Exploratory cruisers are large cruisers capable of independent exploration with less range than explorers and are more tactically capable than heavy cruisers, often used for show-the-flag cruises of the Federation and equivalent to the battlecruisers of other cultures.Heavy Cruisers
Heavy cruisers are generalist starships capable of undertaking any of Starfleet's core missions on behalf of the Federation, generally within Federation space.Fast Cruisers
Fast cruisers have enhanced speed and endurance meant to respond quickly to humanitarian and defensive situations, and to scout ahead of the fleet.Light Cruisers
Light cruisers are generalist starships capable of undertaking any of Starfleet's core missions on behalf of the Federation, generally within Federation space.Research Cruisers
Research cruisers are cruiser-sized science vessels with the capability to carry out indefinite scientific missions, within or near Federation space on their own or in deep space with escorts, as they lack tactical abilities.Utility Cruisers
Utility cruisers are large support vessels that carry out engineering support, scientific, and low-level diplomatic functions within Federation space.Escorts
Heavy Escorts
Heavy escorts, sometimes known as tactical cruisers, are large tactically-capable vessels geared towards leading groups of smaller escorts and frigates and performing deep space reconnaissance and tactical missions.Escorts
Escorts are small tactically-capable vessels that are designed to both literally escort more vulnerable starships and to perform other tactical missions near to their home ports or motherships.Frigates
Heavy Frigates
Heavy frigates are mid-sized starships designed to lead frigate groups and support them with greater engineering capabilities.Frigates
Frigates are small generalist starships that carry out missions of all types within Federation space, but which are geared primarily for patrol, escort, and customs enforcement roles.Exploratory Support Vessels
Science Vessels
Science vessels are medium-sized vessels that carry advanced scientific equipment on missions both inside and outside of Federation space; they are larger than surveyors and smaller than research cruisers.Surveyors
Surveyors are small starships designed for long-term, intensive studies of interstellar objects, planets, and star systems.Scouts
Scouts are small, fast starships used for reconnaissance and courier missions within and outside of Federation space, often travelling ahead of explorers.Corvettes
Corvettes are very small starships designed to move mission teams from one location to another operating out of starbases.Pages in category "Playable Federation Starships"
