The Constitution class is Starfleet's most famous line of ships, they were the most advanced class of ships ever built when they were commissioned with unparalleled speed, weaponry, defenses, scientific and diplomatic resources. The Constitution class ships were responsible for most of the Federation's rapid expansion during the mid-23rd century, along with its defense and exploration. Several times the Constitution class and their crews were called on to decide the future of the Federation against the Klingons, Romulans, and other hostile species; each time proving themselves the best in the quadrant.
