Lydia Class
Light Cruiser
The Science
branch of Starfleet began to explore the possibilities of developing
a vessel dedicated to research and survey as early as the 2140’s.
The Lydia vessel, precursor to the now commonplace Oberth-class science
vessel, was developed in the mid 2160s. It’s ungainly design was
well suited to its task, as critical sensors and other research gear
could be attached to the hold on hard points, located across the tri-starred
engineering hull. Due to their light weapons and defensive systems,
Lydia Class cruisers were primarily employed deep within Federation
space or along the core borders away from the Neutral Zones.
