Starfleet Miranda-Class Frigate Overview

The document summarizes key details about the Starfleet Miranda-class frigate, including its mission, background, features, and ships in service. Specifically: The Miranda-class was designed as a cheaper alternative to the Constitution-class, to serve in an exploration role. Despite simpler design, it proved highly durable and was still in service in the late 24th century. It had powerful photon torpedoes and shields, though less so than the Constitution-class. Extra unused interior space was utilized to increase hull strength. The U.S.S. Miranda and U.S.S. Bombay were early ships in the class, with the Miranda being the first and destroyed after taking out 4

Mission
The Miranda was designed as a cheaper to build and less capable sister to the Constitution-class. Despite this, its primary mission is still one of exploration.

Background
The Miranda-class while designed in counterpart to the Constitution-class would prove durable beyond the wildest imagination of its creators. Not only would the Miranda outlast its sister class the Constitution, it would still be in use well into th the late 24 century. The simplicity and ruggedness of its design no doubt accounts for its popularity and utility to Starfleet and the Federation.

Features
The Miranda features a powerful set of Mk 12 IF photon torpedo launchers, equivalent in power to the Constitution-classs torpedo strength. While its shields and phasers are not quite as powerful as its sister ship, they are still more than capable of accomplishing their intended design goals. Part of the strength of the Mirandaclass is its large volume of relatively unused space. This extra space was utilized to increase the bulkhead thickness throughout the ship, particularly the exterior bulkheads, thus increasing the overall hull strength of the class, with yet some room for future upgrades.
