Universe class (Novus)

"Discovered in an alternate timeline. Now one of the Federations best battleships."

- Says Vice Admiral Givens on the USS Perier The Universe-class was a Starfleet vessel brought into service in 2391. It was inspired by the description of the alternate USS Enterprise-D in Rear Admiral Jean-Luc Picard time traveling experience caused by Q.

As of 2474, 6 were in service and the other 5 had been decommissioned and scrapped. Those parts reused in succeeding starships.

Design and development
Beginning in 2385, the Universe-class starship was one of the most revolutionary jobs underway in starfleet, besides the Chroniton torpedoes integrated into Starfleet vessels in that year.

The ships warp core was 13% larger than those on Galaxy-class starships, and had 3 additional EPS Conduits leading into it, increase warp plasma input, capacity and conduction of warp plasma through the EPS. A metaphor was sometimes used to explain this add on: "The additional flow lets the longer veins not make the hand go numb". In a nutshell, this described the fact that the three nacelles caused more warp plasma to be utilized and to be flowed faster.

The ship was overall utilized with basic state of the art designs which truly made it a ship of pure sophistication. That which resulted in it's ship insignia contained Blue, Turquoise and Black, colors which symbolize sophistication.

Early years
In it's early years, the Universe-class starship was of high significance as It's primary duty as a battleship was depleted. Although it's..secondary duty, being an explorer was long lived. The early 2 (2391 - 2396) were Explorers, but did have their weapons put to test as some fierce enemies/phenomena which were susceptible to energy weapons, were discovered.

Federation-Galactonian War
When the FGW began in 2474, the USS Perier was the first ship on the scene, a practical chance to experience the full ability of the ships systems. The USS Perier claimed to have gotten partially rusty in it's weapons over time and that's why it was, at first, heavily damaged in the Skirmish of Andoria. The Perier was then a time to time escort and escortee of the USS Inventum. Her sister ship.
