USS Gannicus
The USS Gannicus represents a refined take on the Sovereign-class line. Its design combined decades of Advanced Starship Design Bureau research into a sleeker, more tolerant warp-field profile capable of higher cruising velocities. Following the Borg incident, production timelines were accelerated from a projected 10-year build cycle to roughly five years, making the Gannicus a key example of rapid-response Starfleet engineering. Archive compiles span from 2006 through 2016, including the AWLSHGA, A Day on the Job, and Good Intentions series.
"Ryan made his way to the side of the room with four misaligned relays and began to apply force to one of them. The metallic cylindrical relay would not budge at first attempt but with his determination coupled with his malice for things not going the way he planned the first relay finally moved into place."

USS Dennison
All but destroyed by what is believed to be a rogue SFI vessel in 2408. The ship was mothballed pending repairs and her crew was reassigned to the Nova-class USS Mithrandir-A.
"Healer in the Tower Ben entered the counselor's office for the second time that day. He hoped that Lt. Alosar could help him find some of the answers he was looking for. After all he had offered to help Ben find out what had happened to his parents. Ben thought back to what the Vulcan had said at their last meeting "....knowing the full truth would not change anything about how you ... feel."

USS Illuminar
The USS Illuminar stands as one of the most prolific vessels in the archive with 109 documented compiles spanning 25 months of continuous deep space operations (2420-2422). The ship confronted phenomena ranging from Q entities to mirror universe incursions to the philosophical mysteries of "The Uncaring Stars." Her crew's encounters with corruption, parallel realities, and existential threats demonstrated exceptional scientific and tactical capabilities. The Illuminar's final mission, "An End and A Beginning," marked not just her decommissioning but the close of an era of intensive scientific exploration.
"Illuminar Compile 25 Dates: December 4th, 2020 - Ensign Keung Lee was updating his PADD in the gym for the start of a new regular compulsory physical training programme. combat and weapons training program for the crew. Keung was going to observe the first session conducted There were twenty participants altogether."

USS Exeter
A workhorse of the reconstruction era, the USS Exeter compiled an impressive record with 75 documented missions over 14 months of continuous operation (2420-2421). The ship's investigative prowess was demonstrated during the famous "Murder on the Exeter Express" case - a six-month operation spanning 24 compiles that became legendary in Starfleet Academy case studies. The Exeter also handled dimensional crossover incidents and pursued zealots in "The Flames of Purity" mission, showcasing versatility across investigation, first contact, and tactical scenarios.
"“ To be honest Ensign, I’ve been department head for less then ninety six hours, I've not had time to meet everyone yet. Off that list there’s three listed as computer specialist, two listed as core engineers, plus anyone of them could have been in the Ops control yesterday. Also as much as I hate to admit it they may not be recent arrivals."

USS Soval
A vessel that confronted difficult moral choices during the rebuilding period. The Soval's year-long "Lesser Evil" mission (2414-2415) represented one of the fleet's most challenging ethical operations in the post-civil war era. With 22 documented compiles spanning multiple years, the ship maintained consistent operations through complex moral and tactical scenarios, demonstrating the kind of nuanced decision-making required during the Federation's reconstruction period.
"Dan was very curious as to why the Second Officer had called a meeting, particularly given the personnel he had invited. The Chief Engineer's curiosity was quickly satisfied as Commander Jackson got right to the point. ~The Captain and First Officer eh? Not sure I'm qualified for that evaluation, but I can certainly report within the bounds of my expertise. Can't I?"
