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.
""Its ok, come on up," Lt. Nicolae said patting the space on the bio bed besides him. Zzt looked around the room briefly before moving to sit down next to Lt. Nicolae. Zzt wiggled his toe claws aimlessly as he looked at Nicolae and the sensor panel behind the bed. Zzt took a deep breath and then bared his fangs in an approximation of a smile as he looked down at Nicolae. "We done soon?"

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.
""They seem to be very power hungry little buggers, but from what I have found out, the plasma flow to the units need to be completely stable. One little bump in the stream and it's lights out." replied Darsons. "Exactly Lt., that is the reason why I called both you and Lt. Semme down here. I want the both of you to work on the phase cloak. I want the damn thing to be fully operational by 15."

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.

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.
"“Anna calm down.” Sarah said concern in her voice. “ At this point this is a he said / she situation, isn’t that right, detective?” "For the moment." Drake replied. “What I mean is, they’d have to have some kind of proof to make a claim like that stick.” Sarah elaborated."

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.
"Tom watched as Syuvik and Matrix discussed the current situation of the Soval and her crew. The two were his friends as well as his superiors. It was rare they disagreed in front of the crew. But this was important and needed to be addressed. Lt. Brown spoke up. Tom spoke his piece at last. "I agree with all of you."
