  • Medium cruiser
  • History
    • Initial CID prototype design begins: 2120, USS Daedalus (ENT Novel: Daedalus)
      • Launched, lost 2140
    • General success of spaceframe results in M/AM retrofit
      • Design 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      • Though initially thought out of date, with plans c.2163 to begin phasing out in lieu of Ceres-class vessels, post-war refit resulted in surprisingly reliable results (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)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
  • Statistics
    • Length: 225m (ST: Legacy)
    • Width: 102m
    • Height: 63.8m
    • Crew: 229
    • 89 constructed 2144-2160
    • Cruising speed: Warp 2
      • 2156 Romulan War Refit: Warp 3.5
      • 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
      • 2156 Romulan War Refit: Warp 4.7
      • 2161 Refit: Warp 6.2
      • 2264 SCE Refit: Warp 7
    • Auxiliary vessels
      • Mounting for up to five 3-man MACO dropships (ENT Novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
      • Mounted on underside of secondary hull for high-speed orbital deployment (ENT Novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
    • Armament
