Class:Quasar

 |
With the fleet devastation experienced at Wolf 359, as well as other new
considerations, The Quasar class was born in an effort to solve several
problems.
Combining elements of the Galaxy
, Sovereign, and
Pegasus classes, the Quasar is designed to present
a sleeker warp profile, thus minimizing subspace disturbances. Using elements
of the Galaxy class allowed designers to keep costs down while delivering
a prototype quickly. It still took three different design studies before
a prototype was delivered.
It also served as the testbed for many of the technologies that were placed
into the Sovereign class
ships.
The class ship, USS Quasar, has proven itself and more ships of the class
may be coming soon.
The second of the Pegasus series to actually be designed, it was originally
called Voyager. The name was changed to Questar with the announcement of
the new series. It was later renamed Quasar at the suggestion of my younger
brother
I redesigned the ship for better looks and ease of building the actual model.
