The Cheyenne class was a type of starship in service with Starfleet during the late 24th century.
These vessels were among the few Federation starships that had more than two nacelles – others include the Template:ShipClass and Template:ShipClass starships.
Ships of the class
- USS Ahwahnee (NCC-71620)

Background
The USS Pegasus was originally meant to be a Cheyenne-class vessel, but was changed to an Template:ShipClass for cost-cutting measures.
Studio model
The Cheyenne-class studio model was a "kitbash" design study and filming model designed by Greg Jein and Michael Okuda and built by Ed Miarecki for the graveyard scene in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II." [1] It used parts from the smaller scale AMT/Ertl USS Enterprise-D model kit saucer section, a bridge module from the larger Enterprise kit, and commercially-available highlighter markers for warp nacelles. Okuda commented,"I think the fourth was the Cheyenne-class U.S.S. Ahwahnee. (Again, without my notes, I'm not entirely sure). This was a scaled-down Galaxy saucer with four nacelles, arranged in a manner similar to the Constellation. Ed made the nacelles from marker pens.(...)There aren't many more photos of the final versions of the Miarecki study models. The Cheyenne-class ship on the Collectable Card Game (and other card sets) was, almost certainly, a photo that I took. It was probably part of the photos that I took for that slideshow.[Rem:Okuda is referring to the slideshows on the various BoBW models shown at conventions in 1991]'" [2]
