Description
The Enterprise-class cruiser is the symbol of the Federal Star Fleet, like its rival, the Imperial Dondrukov-class battlestar. However, apart from their fame, the two ships could not be more different. While the Imperial battlestar serves at the heart of an Imperial fleet, the Enterprise-class operates independently. Enterprise-class cruisers are the first responders of Star Fleet, and thus they are equipped to deal with most situations. Armed with a large compliment of phasers and photon torpedoes, the Enterprise-class can dispatch most any threat, human or alien, unless they come from one of the major galactic powers. The Enterprise-class is reliable, and its four warp engines give it speed and maneuverability that even other ships in the Federal Star Fleet cannot match. The Enterprise-class is designed to operate independently for years, and so its life support systems are far more sophisticated than fleet-based craft.

The reason for the Enterprise-class's fame is not its place in a major galactic war machine, but rather because it is often the ship the Federation uses for first contact. Star Fleet sends a good portion of its Enterprise fleet to explore strange new worlds, to find new life and new civilizations, and to either bring them into the loving embrace of the Unity Party or to scour the threat to the Enlightened Revolution from the stars. Thus, many Enterprise-class vessels are not equipped primarily for combat, but rather for scientific experimentation and for converting the masses to the Unity ideology. Enterprise-class cruisers often carry "impressive" artifacts of Federation culture, to convince primitive societies to join the Federation.
