Aventine class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

The ***Aventine*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the early 25th century as a refit of the *Vesta*-class.

## History

While in for scheduled repairs and upgrades in opening years of the 25th century, the USS *Aventine* instead underwent significant retrofitting. The Mark III, dubbed the *Aventine*-class, had a sharper saucer and forward-angling pylons than either the *Vesta* or *Rademaker* designs. Like the Mark II, only a limited number of vessels were refitted as the *Palatine*-class entered production shortly after the introduction of the *Aventine*-class.

## Technical specifications

### Deck plan

Due to the modular nature of the design, there was great variation in the *Aventine*-class outside of core facilities. The following was the internal layout of these areas aboard *Aventine*-class vessels.

## Ships commissioned
