This is a complete 3D breakdown of the Nova-class starship, covering Decks 1–8 in full detail. 🖖
The Nova-class was a Federation science vessel introduced in the late 24th century, designed for short-term planetary research missions. Originally envisioned as an evolution of the Galaxy-class explorer, its early design also served as a pathfinder prototype for what would later become the Defiant-class.
With the Defiant design shifting toward combat readiness in response to the Borg threat, the Nova-class retained its scientific role—but with significant tactical capabilities. Despite its smaller size, it was armed to defend itself and complete missions in contested regions.
Some Nova-class ships were constructed in the Sol system around 2370, making them a notable part of Starfleet’s next-generation science and support fleet.
