The Destiny-class was a type of starship, a Federation deep space science vessel, a variant of the Trident-class, in Starfleet service in the early 25th century.
History[]
The USS Destiny, alongside the USS Trident and the USS Oracle, were launched as the first vessels of the Trident-class, designed to be equipped with the most advanced Starfleet technology. When they launched in the early 25th century, these deep space science vessels were larger than most other science vessels and could accommodate a larger crew and unique advanced engineering facilities, enabling them to undertake extended missions. Both the Destiny and the Oracle would go on to become the basis for new subclasses of ships—the Destiny-class and the Oracle-subclass, respectively. (STO website: Ship Name Winners)
