In an alternate timeline where Terra Prime kept United Earth from joining the Coalition of Planets in 2155, the Sitar class was a 23rd century Interstellar Coalition starship type, a Vulcan-built diplomatic-service ringship class in Interstellar Coalition Space Command service in the 2260s decade.

Service history[]
Namesake[]

At some point before the 23rd century, Sitar of Vulcan was a known scientist whose level of genius was analog to Albert Einstein and Kazanga. (TOS episode: "The Ultimate Computer")
Coalition service[]

In the 23rd century, the Vulcans provided the Interstellar Coalition with the Sitar-class diplomatic vessel. A ship's name was written on the hull in a trilingual fashion - in Andorii, Tellaran and the Vulcan language.
The ICV Kuvak was a diplomatic vessel of this class. As such, it was exempt from Coalition Space Command's diversity requirements, unlike the Soval-class cruiser. For its Vulcan-only crew, this required greater emphasis on their Surakian stoicism compared to being surrounded by emotional species.
Coalition ships were warp-capable, defended by deflector shields and armed with phasers. The Sitar had Type III phaser emitters on its ventral hull. During the conference at Babel concerning Coalition-United Earth relations in the year 2264, a Romulan Vas Hatham-class bird of prey destroyed the Kuvak with a single plasma torpedo.

Alternate timeline[]
In the primary universe, Federation Starfleet operated a Class F shuttlecraft named Setar, assigned to the Vulcan-crewed USS Intrepid, in the 2260s. (TOS episode: "Court Martial")
