Description Starship class of medium sized, maneuverable and heavily armed vessels used for escort and battle missions, primarily constructed in the mid 24th century. Beside the classic round saucer section, these ships have two catamaran-like sections which two warp nacelles are attached to. There is a big weapons module above the connection of the two secondary hulls, emphasizing the military use of the class. The external navigational deflector, that is connected to the bottom of the primary hull, is another typical feature of Akira class vessels.
