This page lists all Federation starships that are available for members to request as commands in the current era of Bravo Fleet, the early 25th-century. For information on how to request a command and which ships are available at which ranks, consult the Logistics Office Policy. While all of these classes are in service, not all of them are still in production, so consult the individual article for specific production dates. Information about older vessels can be found in the Retired Federation Starships category. Classes are grouped together by their type, which determines their overall intended function.

Explorers

Explorers are very large vessels, capable of extended duration, independent missions, either alone or leading smaller vessels, equivalent to the battleships of other powers. Sub-types of explorers include long-range explorers, intended for missions well-beyond Federation space, and heavy explorers, which are the equivalent of dreadnoughts of other cultures and are intended for flagship roles.
Andromeda-class explorer
Constitution III-class explorer
Dreadnought-class heavy explorer
Galaxy-class explorer
Lamarr-class long-range explorer
Odyssey-class heavy explorer
Ross-class explorer
Vesta-class long-range explorer

Heavy Cruisers

Heavy cruisers are large generalist starships capable of undertaking any of Starfleet's core missions on behalf of the Federation, generally within Federation space. Sub-types of heavy cruisers include exploratory cruisers, larger heavy cruisers equivalent to the battlecruisers of other cultures, emissaries, intended for diplomatic functions, research cruisers, intended for large-scale scientific research, and light explorers, which are cruisers with extended range for deep space assignments.
Akira-class heavy cruiser
Alita-class heavy cruiser
Ambassador-class emissary
Excelsior II-class heavy cruiser
Glenn-class heavy cruiser
Inquiry-class exploratory cruiser
Luna-class light explorer
Nebula-class exploratory cruiser
Obena-class emissary
Sagan-class light explorer
Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser
Sutherland-class research cruiser
Typhoon-class exploratory cruiser

Light Cruisers

Light cruisers are generalist starships capable of undertaking any of Starfleet's core missions on behalf of the Federation, generally within Federation space or in support of an exploratory group. Sub-types of light cruiser include utility cruisers, which function in logistics support roles, science vessels, intended for research missions, and fast cruisers, intended for rapid response roles.
California-class utility cruiser
Centaur II-class science vessel
Challenger-class light cruiser
Cheyenne-class fast cruiser
Duderstadt-class fast cruiser
Echelon-class light cruiser
Intrepid-class science vessel
Niagara-class fast cruiser
Norway-class light cruiser
Parliament-class utility cruiser
Pathfinder-class science vessel
Springfield-class science vessel

Destroyers

Destroyers, sometimes known as tactical cruisers, are medium-sized tactically-capable vessels geared towards independent deep space reconnaissance and tactical missions. Sub-types of destroyers include heavy escorts, intended to lead groups of escorts or frigates, and carriers, which have large small craft complements.
Gagarin-class heavy escort
Manticore-class destroyer
Prometheus-class heavy escort
Achilles-class destroyer
Typhon-class carrier

Frigates

Frigates are exploratory support vessels that serve alongside larger starships in both generalist and specialist capacities. Sub-types of frigates include escorts, intended for combat roles, heavy frigates, which have additional engineering support capabilities, and medical frigates, i.e. hospital ships.
Aquarius-class escort
Defiant-class escort
Edison-class heavy frigate
New Orleans-class frigate
Olympic-class medical frigate
Reliant-class frigate
Shran-class escort
Steamrunner-class heavy frigate

Scouts

Scouts are small, fast starships used for reconnaissance and courier missions within and outside of Federation space, often travelling ahead of explorers. Sub-types of scouts include corvettes, which have significantly smaller crews, and surveyors which are specialized for planetary and stellar surveys.
Freedom-class scout
Grissom-class surveyor
Nova-class surveyor
Osler-class scout
Phoenix-class corvette
Protostar-class corvette
Raven-class corvette
Rhode Island-class scout
Saber-class scout
Shenzhou-class surveyor
