Exeter class

The Exeter-class was a type of cruiser that was first built in the early 2400s.

History
Designed and built as a new variant of the famed starships, the Exeter-class honors the 400 crew members of the U.S.S. Exeter who were killed by a biological agent in 2268. The Exeter-class starship has specialized equipment that can modify torpedoes to seek the engine emissions of cloaked vessels. This technology was inspired by the modifications made to a torpedo by James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy at the battle against General Chang at Khitomer in 2293.

Details
The Exeter-class is listed as a "Federation Cruiser Refit", and comes equipped with a special console that, when activated, causes the next torpedo fired to seek the emissions of nearby starships.
