Obscure, background ships of the day

And now the first vessel, the Wedge stardrived, hard to see ship in STIII:

Clarion Class Heavy Cruiser

Hull Index: (Constitution is 14) 12

Cruising Speed: Warp 5

History:

A heavily used Heavy Cruiser, before the development of the Constitution Class, these Vessels fell out of general use in the 2250s, although a few remained in service until the 2290s, conducting minor missions. The class was an expansion on the older Valiant Class Light Cruiser hull.

Noteworthy Vessels:

U.S.S Clarion, NCC-1604, Prototype
U.S.S Bull Run, NCC-1609, Destroyed a Klingon Squadron in 2255, due to the genius tactics of it's captain, Jackson Helson, although it later disappeared soon after
U.S.S Essex, NCC-1697, served many purposes until it's decommissioning in 2290

Comments?

Do we have a screen shot of this vessel?

Dude, we need more operations details.

Which?

Operations systems, tractor beams (number/strength), sensors, resilience/power of SIF/IDF, deflector power, long-term operational capacity, passenger capacity (along with what living conditions are like), storage, support craft, industrial capacity, examples of ships and how they functioned in various stressful situations.

et cetera.

Okay. The existing ships will be revised.
