Nausicaa Class
Diplomatic Courier
Nausicaa Class Diplomatic Couriers are among the fastest ships in the
Federation, surprising given their very small size. Starfleet Engineers
began the design of the vessel with Vulcan Warp Sleds, using information
gleaned from early Constitution class five-year missions to boost the
warp performance of the sled to a cruising speed of Warp 12.5 Cargo
and passenger space on the sled was increased by coupling the warp sled
to the central saucer of the Oberth-class science vessel.
Nausicaa class Couriers were brought into service in the 2170’s,
and several were kept into service well into the 2240’s. Their
speed small profile made them ideal for ferrying vital information that
could not be trusted to subspace, and for the insertion of diplomatic
personnel into regional hotspots.
