States class

States Class
The States Assault Cruisers is the first operational Troop Missile Cruiser in Starfleet. The States Class succeeded the Kolm-An Class and Continent Class as the Federation's heavy Assault ship designs. These unique vessels have gained the respect and admiration of their crews because of their handling characteristics and offensive capabilities.

The overall design came from Terran MACOS Engineering design teams to create a cruiser with photon torpedoes as its main weapons. And the main military troops number to 160. This large assault cruiser is equipped with a strong armament of eigth medium Phasers two banks each,one Maga Phasers aft and eight photon torpedo launchers. Despite its firepower, the States Class Assault Cruisers is rarely committed to battle due to its expense and rarity.

Rather, the intended use of its photon torpedoes arsenal is in planetary bombardment operations.

And it is first ship in starfleet to have holodeck for troops. Plus it is the ship only to have two transporters rooms that has 80 pods each on a starship.

One Ship stands out of all the States Class and that is the USS Arkansas NCC-63000.It had more battle's seen in the later 24th Century during the Dominion War.

The States Class Assault Cruisers were never built in great numbers, but remained important assault units throughout the early 24th Century. During the Dominion War, the efforts of the States Class Assault Cruisers were overshadowed by those of the far more numerous Excelsior class Cruisers.
