Miranda class

The Miranda-class was a type of Federation starship in use in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

History
One of Starfleet’s most successful classes, the Miranda-class began its life in the 2250s as complimentary class to the Constitution-class and in fact many components of the class were taken from the Constitution-class (EV comic: Cloak and Dagger). Whilst the early Miranda-class vessels were successful it was not until the 2280s when, following the start of the highly effective Constitution-class refit program a similar scheme was began on the Miranda-class vessels. The renewed design proved so successful that Starfleet rapidly commissioned a number of new vessels. These along with additional ships commissioned since served well into the 24th century and still made up a significant proportion of Starfleet a century after the first refits as the Federation went to war with the Dominion. Whilst the class took quite a beating in the war many still remain in service and the legacy will no doubt live on for years to come. (Reference Book: Starship Spotter)
 * FASA supplements designate the pre-refit Miranda-class ships as Anton-class ships with the USS Reliant serving as the first refit vessel.

Features
Part of the Miranda-class' extreme success is down to their versatility; they perform well in combat, scientific research or even as cargo ships. This versatility is enhanced by an array of interchangeable and removable elements allowing the vessels to be specialised for missions. These components include additional sensor pods and weapons arrays and most obviously the option to have a roll bar housing additional systems over the main saucer section. The variability is so extensive one variant has been deemed a class in it's own right; the Soyuz-class.

The Miranda-class in its most common configuration features two pulse-phaser cannons which draw power directly from the warp plasma feeds running into the warp nacelles making the class a formidable opponent. (Reference Book: Starship Spotter)
