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. (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
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. (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
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)
Specifications
Technical data
The ship's space-frame consisted of a wide, circular primary hull, an underslung warp nacelle, and a secondary hull suspended above the saucer section. A deflector dish marked the secondary hull's front, while the shuttlebay was at its aft end. Red impulse engines sat at the saucer's aft, and a blue impulse engine was placed at the end of the sole warp nacelle. (TOS movie: Star Trek)
In the 2250s decade of the Kelvin timeline, Starfleet ship types such as the Armstrong-, Mayflower-, and the Newton-type were based on the same design lineage. (TOS movie: Star Trek)
In the 2270s of the prime timeline, the Newton retained the basic hull components of the Einstein, in a different configuration. TOS - Waypoint - Special comic: "Consider Eternity")
The class, acquired by the Lobi Crystal Consortium from the Kelvin timeline and sold to the Alpha Quadrant Alliance, re-entered Starfleet service in 2410. It was now rated science vessel-based tier 6 destroyer. With heavy armor and armaments, one focus was to keep its crew and allies safe, and another on to maintain structural integrity in the face of adversity. The tier-6 destroyer was equipped with an advanced engagement system console. (STO website: Awakening : The Kelvin Divergence Lock Box)
A vessel of the class was available to command by officers of Starfleet, and AQA officers allied with Starfleet. (STO - Awakening mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Class variations
While the Einstein was a modular design, its components could not be exchanged with other ship classes in the 25th century. As such, it had only one template, also called Einstein. (STO - Awakening mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
The Einstein-class destroyer allowed its commanding officer to modify its livery and choose from different hull material options, which could be modified at allied hubs. These options were designated:
- Einstein
- NX
- NX Refit
- Type 0
- Type 1
- Type 2
- Type 3
- Type 4
- Type 5
- Type 6
- Type 7
- Type 8
- Type 8b
- Veteran. (STO - Awakening mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Furthermore, the installation of deflector shields from specific factions modified the hull appearance, including shields from the Reman Resistance, the Breen Confederacy and the Dominion. (STO missions: "Coliseum", "Cold Storage", "Boldly They Rode")
Ships of the class
- NCC-0509 (TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 19")
- USS Gates (ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
- USS Kelvin (NCC-0514) (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek)
- There may have (likely, as there are no known Federation Starfleet classes not named after their first ship) been a prototype USS Einstein which the class was named after; however, no such ship is known.
