The Einstein-class was a type of Federation starship used in the early 23rd century. (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
History
By 2196, the Daedalus-class of ships was retired and replaced by the Einstein- and Baton Rouge-classes. For the next three decades, these ships were crewed with Starfleet's best and brightest.
Sometime around 2223, the USS Gates was forced to return to Starbase 9 from a scientific study to receive minor repairs. Robert April thought that the design lacked in self-sufficiency, which he sought to rectify by designing the Constitution-class. Until that project, no known ship had been able to break the Warp 7 barrier.
This class is similar in design to many 23rd century scout class starships, with a saucer-shaped primary hull and a single warp nacelle. A difference is the secondary hull that most scout vessels lack. One such vessel, the starship USS Kelvin was still in operational service by 2233. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek)
In the Alternate Reality Other Vessel classes such as the Newton Type, Mayflower Type, and the Armstrong Type Featured similar parts and specifications of the older Einstein class. Suggesting that they were of the same design lineage, and perhaps existed prior to the Attack on the USS Kelvin in 2233. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek)
Ships of the class
- USS Gates (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
- USS Kelvin (NCC-0514) (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek)
- There may have been a prototype USS Einstein which the class was named after, however no such ship is known.
