The ***Narendra*-class**, named after the battle where the USS *Enterprise*-C was destroyed defending a Klingon colony, was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the mid 24th century. It was the lass design created as part of the Century Cruiser Project and was rated as a scale 5 heavy cruiser.

## History

The *Narendra*-class was originally designed by Captain Anselm Probert in 2319. The design could not be fully realized at that time and significant modifications were made to his proposal, eventually culminating in the *Ambassador*-class. Starfleet engineers rediscovered Probert's original design in the 2360s at the tail end of the Century Cruiser Project.

The name was chosen to celebrate the closer relationship between the Federation and Klingon Empire that developed after the battle. It was also a public relations push in reaction to growing doubts within the Empire for the alliance.

A hold was placed on additional construction after the loss of both USS *Endurance* and USS *Roosevelt* at the Battle of Wolf 359 so that a full evaluation of their performance could be conducted. The two *Narendra* vessels performed admirably, even on skeleton crews, and approval was given by Starfleet Command in late 2367 to continue construction on the three additional frames.

### Mark II

As the 24th century came to a close, Starfleet Command ordered an evaluation of the fleet in preparation for the 250th annual Frontier Day. Unlike some of the other vessels redesigned, the *Narendra* refit was minor and mostly consisted of a replacement of the exterior hull plating and internal systems updates.

## Technical specifications

### Physical arrangement

Each nacelle was connected via a dedicated pylon to the secondary hull.

### Deck plan

The following was the standard internal layout of *Narendra*-class vessels.

### Propulsion systems

A single warp field governor, located above the impulse engines, was paired with two eco-linear warp drive units.

### Auxiliary craft systems

The class was designed with two shuttlebays, one beneath and aft of the bridge on Deck 4, and the other at the aft of Deck 26. Shuttlebay 2 had a large, curved door and a small afterdeck.
