The Nebula-class starship was an Explorer-type vessel in service in Starfleet in the second half of the 24th century. Its design is closely related to that of the Galaxy-class.
Atop the engineering hull is a superstructure which can support a variety of equipment, such as sensor platforms, additional warp nacelles, and torpedo launchers.
- It remains unclear what the function of the USS Phoenix's superstructure was. Most fan speculation designates it as a sensor module, similar in function to an AWACS.
Some Nebula-class starships, including the USS Phoenix used a high-energy sensor sweep that cycled every 5.5 minutes. Between each of those cycles, a "window" of 1/50th of a second would open, requiring the ship's shields to be realigned. (TNG: "The Wounded")
In 2370, the theoretical maximum speed for the warp drive of Nebula-class starships, including the USS Prometheus was warp 9.5. When fine tuned, the warp drive could be pushed to warp 9.6. (DS9: "Second Sight")
In 2373, Richard and Amsha Bashir boarded a Nebula class starship bound for Earth. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?")
By 2374, Nebula-class ships were refited. The major changes were a more Galaxy-class style secondary hull and deflector dish. Several of these refitted Nebula-class starships were a part of a Federation assault fleet that was assembled to stop the Dominion and the Breen from driving the Federation Alliance out of the Chin'toka system. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")
- The Nebula-class was designed by Ed Miarecki (initial prototype version), Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda (standard version); and modelled by Greg Jein.
