Sovereign class

Sovereign class starships were used by Starfleet as their lead heavy-explorers in the late 24th century.

First commissioned in 2370, Sovereign-class ships are quite adaptable to different missions, scientific, defencive, and diplomatic. They have an average of 24 decks. They're equipped with two shuttlebays, one of the far aft modeled after old Constitution class ships, and another on the aft part of Deck 7, which is technically 3 shuttlebays in one.

They have an average crew compliment of 885, 11 shuttlecraft and one Captain's Yacht, 6 standard personnel transporters, 8 cargo transporters, and 6 emergency transporters. (RPG Star Trek: Roleplaying Game: "Starfleet Operations Manual")
