Reliant class

The Reliant class was a type of Federation starship that was in operation with Starfleet in the early 25th century. 
== History == 
The Reliant-class is a successor to the older of the 23rd century. Both classes feature the same layout, and design principles.
In 2401, several ships of this class were present in the fleet assembled to confront the Borg vessel , and in conjunction with the Borg vessel, were able to defend against a large burst of energy that had threatened the sector. ()
Two ships of this class, the and the were orbiting M'talas Prime following the attack on District Seven. ()
Later that same year, twenty-four ships were assembled for the Frontier Day celebrations over Earth, and were hijacked by their younger crews after they came under the direct control of the Borg Collective. ()

=== Background information ===
This class of ship was first seen in Star Trek Online, designed by Hector Ortiz and modeled by Thomas Marrone, where it was identified as a 25th century variation of the 23rd century and named for the Miranda-class which appeared in . In a unique collaboration between Cryptic Studios, the game's developer, and the creative minds behind , this ship class was introduced to the canonical world of Star Trek. It was done as a cost-saving measure, while meeting the demands of different parties to add variety to the ranks of Starfleet. 
Dave Blass once jokingly stated that the ship with the registry NCC-90210, which would fall within this class, would be named USS Beverly Hills. 
The total number of Reliant-class vessels present at Frontier Day was established by former Picard Research Assistant Jörg Hillebrand.
