Phalanx class

The Phalanx-class was a large Federation starship class in service to Starfleet in the late-24th century. 

Design
The class appeared to be an intermediary between the and the, although there were design cues from the , too. It had a Sovereign-style primary hull with a secondary navigational deflector set in the fore dorsal surface. The Sovereign-style connecting dorsal swept back and down to a long, sleek secondary hull with a flared sensor array running horizontally to the nacelle pylons. At the prow was a compact Galaxy-style deflector dish, and astern, at the tip of the undercut, was a structure similar to the refit Ambassador-class USS Yamaguchi (Ambassador class)'s ventral shuttlebay. The two bulky, Galaxy-style warp nacelles were mounted on pylons that swept back from the hull horizontally before jutting forward slightly, similar to a starship's.

Specifications
The Phalanx-class was equipped with two warp cores, several phaser arrays and Sovereign-type escape pods. (Ships of the Line calendars 2013 & 2014)

History
The first Phalanx-class starship was assigned to the Federation-Klingon Empire border to restore tactical balance in the region following skirmishes provoked by the Kinshaya. Sherman's Planet was its homeport.
