The Emerald class[1][2] was a 23rd[1] and 24th[2] century Tholian starship type, a juggernaut[2] class in Tholian Assembly service around the 2290s[1] to the 2380s[2] decades. (ST novels: The Ashes of Eden, Revelation and Dust)

Specifications[]

By the 2290s these vessels were known to have exceptional shields but inferior firepower and speed when compared to a Constitution-class (Enterprise-subclass vessel. They operated with a crew of 20 and had a maximum cruising speed of warp 7.5. (TOS - Odyssey novel: The Ashes of Eden)

These vessels had a distinctive Tholian design with a wedge shape where the hull was a combination of straight lines and angles. Its warp drive engine took the form of a pair of shaped edged warp nacelles. (ST - The Fall novel: Revelation and Dust)

Service history[]

23rd century[]

A vessel of this class followed James T. Kirk, Teilani and Montgomery Scott on their way to Chal in the year 2293. Although the USS Enterprise-A could have easily overpowered it, Teilani opted to simply outrun it. (TOS - Odyssey novel: The Ashes of Eden)

First Splinter timeline[]

In 2385 of the First Splinter[3] timeline, the Assembly used Emerald-class juggernauts. These were deployed during the time the Tholians were allied with the Typhon Pact. Starfleet ship recognition systems had logged this type of craft within their systems. One such starship arrived by Bajor where it approached Deep Space 9 in Federation space. (ST - The Fall novel: Revelation and Dust)

Another Emerald-class starship was commandeered by Zyene when she was part of the Summit of Eight cabal. (TNG novel: Takedown)
