GENERAL NOTES

Akula class ships date back to what is refered to as the 'frontier' days of the Federation. With a history that rivals that of the Constitution, Excelsior, Sovereign and Swiften Classes, Starfleet has commissioned the 3rd Generation Akula to fill a role between the Destroyer line and the Frigate type starship. With the term War Destroyer not reflecting the peacefull explorative focus that Starfleet wants to portray, ships that fall under this configuration are now more commonly refered to as a medium destroyer, or combat destroyer. They are ships that are built at a fast rate with little of the creature comforts Starfleet personell have become accustomed too with the larger class of starships being produced. It is anticipated that the majority of this class of ship will be 'loaned' to the SFMC to serve as Troop Deployment Vessels.
