Sydney-class starships were a type of relatively large personnel transport ship utilized by the Federation during the late 23rd century through as late as 2375. (TNG: "Relics"; DS9: "Chrysalis")
Technical data
The Sydney-class, like many of the contemporary classes of that era, possessed several systems still in use during the 24th century, including its transporter system, its subspace radio, sensors and impulse engines.
According to Geordi La Forge, older model ships, like the USS Jenolan could "run circles around" a Template:ShipClass starship at impulse speeds. (TNG: "Relics")
Interior design
Ops center
The bridge was the command center of the Sydney-class.
Located at the rear half of the bridge was a small command area, with a helm station, and command chair, with an operations console located at the rear of the bridge.
In the port-forward side of the bridge was a two-man transporter stage and adjacent transporter console. The starboard-forward side of the bridge contained the engineering console.
- The description of "ops center" was derived from the episodes script.
Ships of the class
- USS Jenolan (NCC-2010)

Background
The studio model was originally used for an orbital shuttle created for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and was substantially modified with Template:ShipClass and Template:ShipClass components, notably the bridge module and nacelles, to enlarge to appearance of the shuttlecraft into that of a larger vessel with several decks.
The name of this class is named after Sydney, Australia, with the USS Jenolan being named for the Australian tourist attraction, Jenolan Caves, located near there; visited by Naren Shankar and episode writer, Ronald D. Moore following a Sydney convention.
