History and specificationsEdit

HistoryEdit

By the mid-22nd century the Ganges class was considered to be an older ship design, but several ships were still in active service. Along with the SS Intrepid two such vessels chased away a Klingon bird-of-prey when it attacked Enterprise in the Sol system after its return following the Xindi attack in 2153. (ENT episode: "The Expanse")

In 2154, at least three Ganges class ships were part of the fleet that welcomed back the Enterprise to Earth. (ENT episode: "Storm Front")

This class was also present in the mirror universe. (ENT episode: "In a Mirror, Darkly")

The class even served in the Earth-Romulan War, for example the Eberswalde patrolled Romulan territory. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Uncertain Logic)

As part of UESPA Chief of Staff Admiral Jonathan Archer and Alpha Centauri Chief of Staff Alexis Osman's fleet modernization program, a new wave of Ganges class vessels were under construction by 2165. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Live by the Code)

SpecificationsEdit

Ganges class ships were equipped with forward and aft phase cannons for offense and polarized hull plating for defense. (ENT episodes: "The Expanse", "Twilight")
