General
description
The Sovereign class is probably the longest ship
type of the fleet, however, it is smaller than the Galaxy
or Ambassador class. In 2373, the Sovereign class
Enterprise-E is the most advanced ship of Starfleet. Its
weapons include quantum torpedoes which are fired from a
module at the bottom of the saucer hull. |
Known ships
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E |
Annotations
1) No
Sovereign class starship except for the Enterprise-E
could be seen yet. Still, there must be at least the
prototype ship USS Sovereign. Obviously the producers do
not want to "waste" the new ship design in DS9,
but exclusively reserve it for the cinema. The stretched
appearance is a strong contrast to almost all other
classes and is obviously intended to make the
Enterprise-E look "fast".
2) Pre-production drawings of the Sovereign class show a
saucer separation. In separated mode, the quantum torpedo
tube is connected to the engineering hull. |
