Eternity-class
The Eternity-class starship was the first Federation starship class designed specifically for the exploration of other galaxies, and the first starship class confirmed to have travelled to the Andromeda Galaxy (not including the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-X), which accidentally traveled there in 3398), though there were indications that the Borg had already reached the Galaxy more than a decade earlier, but had left relatively quickly due the (far from futile) resistance put up by the Masters.

The prototype of the class was the USS Eternity (NCC-24385).

The Eternity-class was fitted with a revolutionary new warp drive which allowed it a top speed of warp 30.9, though at immense risk. This drive did remain exclusive to this class for long as, when it became clear that the Masters would soon threaten the Milky Way, over 1000 Federation ships were fitted with the drive and dispatched to the Andromeda Galaxy to hold them back, and establish a significant presence.

Hermes-class
The Hermes-class was a diplomatic ship which, unlike most Federation ships, was coloured white to signify peace. These peaceful intentions did not prevent hundreds of these ships being called into action during the Second Earth-Romulan War, during which they proved to be efficient warships, though their small size and distinct lack of weapons and shields meant they were forced to travel in 'swarms.' The most famous of these ships was the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-X), the 26th ship to carry the prestigious name.

During the war between the Fedaeration and its allies, and the Magister Imperium, many more of these ships were called into action. Unfortunately, the swarming tactic did not work against the Imperium's warships, leading to the destruction of over seventy Hermes-class ships, including the Enterprise itself. Its entire frontal section vaporised, the Enterprise carried out a heroic suicide run on a Planetary Obliterator, going out in a blaze of glory and completely destroying the enemy ship.

Indomitable class
The Indomitable class was a Federation 'tactical cruiser' in service during the late 34th and early 35th centuries. It was (comparatively) one of the most powerful ships ever used by the Federation, and as such saw a great deal of action during the Imperium War. The class boasted extremely durable armour and two sets of shields, one over the other, and its main weapon, besides phasers and torpedoes, consisted of a pair of huge 'prongs' on the front of the ship. These would release a combined energy beam that very rarely failed to cripple or destroy enemy vessels.

Armageddon class
Armageddon class ships almost certainly were the most powerful battleship that had ever been used by the Federation. The original form of the ship was highly capable, but when the Imperium War started they were upgraded with an amalgam of Federation, Romulan and Borg technology. They were equipped with near-impenetrable armour, 10 layers of shields, thousands of torpedo and phaser banks, four pulse cannons (two front and rear), shield drainers, and a mysterious and incredibly destructive 'energy lance', provided by the Borg. With these modifications they were capable of destroying Imperium ships while taking little or no damage. They were even able to defeat the Fai'ye (with some difficulty). The imperium eventually found some ways of defeating the class, but they still remained incredibly dangerous.
