The Farragut type was a class of Federation starship operated by Starfleet during the 23rd century. (SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")
History[]
The Farragut type was in service with Starfleet by 2255. (TOS: "Obsession")
Ships of the line saw normal fleet deployments during this time that took them to Starbase 1, as well as assisting with the setup and configuration, and then later forced scuttling of Bavali Station near Gorn space. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "The Broken Circle", "Lost in Translation")
In an alternate timeline resulting from a time travelling Christopher Pike, the USS Farragut had assisted the USS Enterprise with tracking down a Romulan intruder that had crossed into Federation Space from the Neutral zone. During this encounter, the Farragut was targeted by the intruder, and destroyed after being struck with a Plasma torpedo. (SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")
Technical data[]
Bridge of a Farragut type starship
The Farragut type is an overall small, compact design consisting of a saucer section similar in size and configuration of the Constitution-class, without a separate engineering section. The main deflector was housed in a small area on the underside of the saucer, and the curved nacelle pylons were mounted directly on the ventral surface, which pulled the nacelles in underneath in a tucked in configuration.
This class had a crew complement of approximately four hundred.
Ships of the class were equipped with phaser turrets typical of the period, and deflector shields, in addition to having a maximum speed of warp 9. (TOS: "Obsession", SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")
