The Sovereign class starship was a battleship and explorer utilised by Starfleet from 2372.

History
The Sovereign class began development in 2365 intended to be the latest and greatest in Starfleet exploration starships, however following the USS Enterprise-D's encounter with the Borg later that year, Starfleet began to augment the design with Borg defence in mind. In 2367 Starfleet was exposed to the full force of the Borg in the Battle of Wolf 359. After suffering such huge loses with almost no damage done to the Borg, Starfleet's entire policy of starship design shifted towards defence and the Sovereign class's design was subsequently altered to reflect this.

The prototype USS Sovereign was finally launched in 2370, followed two years later (30 October 2372) by the USS Enterprise-E. The Enterprise later faced the Borg during their incursion of Federation space in 2373. Proving to be highly successful against the Borg, the Sovereign was hailed as one of the "best balances of exploration and tactical capability since the Constitution class of a century prior" and was expected to be Starfleet's leading class well into the 25th century.

The Rifteon Warship
FHM Future (RDV-04) - This ship is the polar opposite of the Future, it was encountered in the Negitive Zone and is pure evil as described by its captain. Unlike the Parallel Universe these "evil"-persona's cannot be made to convert to good and their ships seem to posses almost every weapon and defence known in this universe. This ship's prefix (FHM) means the Four Horse Men.
